Miguel Servet (La Sangre y La Ceniza)(1989)

Miguel Servet: La Sangre y La Ceniza is a Spanish historical drama that chronicles the life of the Renaissance physician and theologian from his birth through his execution for blasphemy in 1553. The series traces Servet's groundbreaking scientific discoveries—particularly his work on blood circulation—alongside his dangerous theological writings that challenged the Catholic Church. Caught between his pursuit of truth and the rigid orthodoxy of his era, Servet faces mounting persecution from religious authorities. His story unfolds against the backdrop of 16th-century Spain and Europe, where intellectual curiosity and faith collide. The drama explores how one man's refusal to recant his beliefs led him to the stake, making him a martyr for both science and independent thought. A compelling portrait of conviction in the face of institutional power.
