Dominican actor Frank Perozo highlights gender violence in new film

Dominican actor Frank Perozo has described the film ‘La Novia del Atlántico’ as more than a cinematic production, calling it a formal denunciation of gender violence. During a press conference at Caribbean Cinemas in Novocentro, Perozo emphasized that the film addresses both physical and psychological abuse, noting that such violence often occurs within close circles of neighbors, friends, and family.

In the film, Perozo portrays a politician who prioritizes his public image and electoral interests over addressing gender-based violence. He described the character as a figure who turns a blind eye to these social issues to protect personal or political gains, serving as a central conflict in the narrative to illustrate how private interests can obstruct necessary social attention.
