The third and last documentary part of the series of that began in 1991 with the "The Power of Generalissimo", first part. Here are the happened most important events in the Dominican Republic in the period between the 16 of August of 1952, date of the arrival to the of Negro Trujillo like President of the Republic, and the 8 of November of 1961, day of the exit of the country of Ranfis Trujillo and their family. Between the events treated in this part they stand out the trip from Trujillo to Spain, the Fair of La Paz, the kidnapping of Galíndez, the invasion of the 14 of June, the death of the sisters Mirabal, the execution of the dictator, and the death in which they participated in the plot against Trujillo, among other subjects. René Fortunato concludes therefore an historical revision that would be added to many others of equal magnitude in the literary order, but that in the audio-visual area has become the document more taken advantage of in terms its educative value.
The documentary one shows the political, economic and social conditions that determined the sprouting of the dictatorship of Trujillo in the Dominican Republic. It offers in addition, a stirring vision of more than twenty years of Dominican history, 1916 to 1937, using for such aim, films of the time, pictures, documents, near recordings of speeches of Trujillo and their collaborators, as well as other audio-visual resources of spectacular character. This documentary one, with some deficiencies in its dramatic art, obtains of all ways a conviction on the information handled in its work, saving the audio-visual distances between the historical speech and revelations.
The political and social events in the Dominican Republic are happened more important during period 1938-1952. The actions of the Trujillo's dictatorship during the Forties and the efforts of the refugees ones to overthrow it, are dialed with with details in this second documentary part of the series about "The Power of Generalissimo" . The invasions of Cayo Confite and Luperón, Juventud Democrática and the different conspiracies, as well as the relations of Trujillo with the United States before the beginning of the "Cold War", occupy a good part of this documentary one. In this occasion there are more approximate advantage to the rigor of the documentary one notices, through its voice over and other lines.
