An absolutely fascinating documentary from 1994. Basically, the premise is that the horrors of the Spanish Inquisition were greatly exaggerated by those in countries like England, the Netherlands and Germany to vilify both Spain and the Catholic Church. They go on to talk about how the Spanish Inquisition was one of the most tame and well documented (these records were released in the 20th century) out of the Inquisition. Torture was for the most part minimal and executions were fairly rare. Furthermore, it's stated that the conditions in many of the Spanish Inquisition jails was better than those of the ordinary jails in both spain and in many parts of Europe.
