THE HISTORY AND THE STORIES

It’s based on the true story of Olivorio Mateo, a Dominican peasant who in the early twentieth century put together a religious community in the Dominican-Haitian border and ends up assassinated by the US occupation forces.

It is said that he never died and similar movements surged in the region over time.

The figure of this man is still an object of worship in the Dominican South and a many can describe how they encounter Liborio in real life, in dreams, or through possession.
