I never expected in a million years that I would want to learn more about this Honduran mountain village town and the turn of the 20th century politics affecting the common people and the United Fruit Company and the makeshift politics of the time, Banana Republic!!! It felt like a story straight out of a plot for a movie.

C'MON America, produce a biopic or some kind of documentary about this time in history!! Call Salma and maybe you can use the same props from 'Frida' to create the sets!! LOL Same period piece age...

Good episode; wish they had dug a little more into her father's actual early life though.

Hmm, Hondurans don't use scanning methods (e.g., microfiche) to archive their documents?

I agree with you - I was captivated. She should make a movie!

The Mormon church has been combing through foreign records for decades. I think in many instances they were allowed access to original sources by giving free copies to governments and churches that could not afford filming.

Check on familysearch.org for records from there and contact the Mormon Church's local libraries.

I don't know everything. Neither does anyone else
