Told in flashback during the final days of Charles III’s life, this program scrutinizes that enlightened monarch’s reign, a period of moderate reformism that required balancing innovation with the heavy weight of tradition. Successful domestic initiatives such as the renovation of Madrid, controversial incidents including the reform riot of 1766 and the expulsion of the Jesuits, and disastrous foreign policy decisions that drew Spain into the Seven Years’ War and the American Revolution are each looked at in their turn. Not available in French-speaking Canada. An RTVE Production. (Spanish with English subtitles, 49 minutes)
