Just finished watching episode 1. It is amazing. Wonderful footage of Santiago, the Cathedral, the lit Torre del Reloj (2011 was a Holy year). Mystery & intrigue.
Thanks Bradypus for finding this.

Oh dear, I ought to be doing other things, but have been watching the first episode! Thanks for posting. Usually I prefer something more factual and less dramatic, but once I started watching I wanted to find out... next episode at another time!

I am half way through episode 2 and totally hooked! You couldn’t make this stuff up. That said, I’m having a lot of trouble streaming - it freezes constantly. Maybe too many forum members watching?

Ditto. Immediately raises many logical questions that are left unanswered and raises multiple accountability and ethical questions.
Episode 1 has beautiful misty footage of Santiago and the cathedral. Documentary opens many cans of worms. Wonder what the lawyers on this Forum think of this, though it is likely a spiral side trip.

Bradypus, many thanks for the heads-up on this. Really do appreciate it. Watched the first episode and thought it was excellent. An intriguing and barely credible story told by the people who were there at the time. Great stuff.
