What happens

Doña Bárbara is a Spanish-language telenovela produced by Hugo León Ferrer for Telemundo in 2008–2009. It is based on the 1929 Venezuelan novel Doña Bárbara by Rómulo Gallegos. Like most of its soap operas, the network initially broadcast English subtitles as closed captions on CC3 until late October, when the translations were canceled. This show was the first to have subtitles restored when closed captions were reintroduced in late March 2009. Edith González, Christian Meier, and Genesis Rodriguez star as the protagonists, Katie Barberi and Arap Bethke as co-protagonists. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
