Just watched this film which tells the story of 700 German Jews who started the Sosua settlement after dictator Trujillo offered 100.000 visas to persecution jews from Nazi Germany. Fantastic guy on there called Luis Hess who is 99 years old. It's in German but there's some good footage of Santo Domingo and Sosua (I've never been to DR so that was interesting).
