Trópico de sangre (English: Tropic of Blood) is a 2010 drama film based on the true story of the Dominican Republic's heroic Mirabal sisters.

The film focuses on Minerva Mirabal and tells the true story of how she and her sisters came to represent the greatest threat to dictator Rafael Trujillo and his regime.

They were assassinated in 1960 by men under the instruction of the Trujillo regime according to General Pupo Roman, although their death was made to appear as an automobile accident.

Many citizens were outraged and a few months later Trujillo was assassinated by an ambush led by Antonio de La Maza, who was played by actor Cesar Evora.

In July 2008, the president of the Minerva Mirabal Foundation, Carlos Leiter, publicly criticized the film, specifically the involvement of actress Michelle Rodriguez due to her past legal issues.
