Description

The Spanish television series Ministerio del Tiempo is a historical fiction program in which employees of the Spanish government travel in time to various eras and locations within the history of Spain, allowing viewers to experience key events of the past through the lens of this popular series, which aired in Spain from 2015-2017. Of particular note is the double episode dedicated to the Siege of Baler during the revolution in the Philippines, which also is the subject of the Spanish film, Los Ultimos de Filipinas. My presentation will examine how this historical event is dealt with both in the television program and in its cinematic version.
