Original images and sounds from the early-1960s form the foundation of director René Fortunado's study of the military coup d´etat that overthrew the Bosch government in the Dominican Republic. It was a time of unprecedented change in the world: John F. Kennedy was in the White House, and American foreign policy was being transformed.
