Your Holiness, the little matter
that brought me here is now settled.

:01:00

The Indians are once more free to be enslaved
by the Spanish and Portuguese settlers.

:01:08

I don't think that's hitting
the right note. Begin again.

:01:13

Your Holiness, I write to you
in this year of our Lord 1758...

:01:17

...from the southern continent of the
Americas, from the town of Asunción...

:01:23

...two weeks' march from
the great mission of San Miguel.

:01:27

These missions have protected the Indians
from the depredations of the settlers...

:01:33

... and have earned much resentment
because of it.

:01:36

The noble souls of these Indians
incline towards music.

:01:40

Indeed, many a violin played
in the academies of Rome...

:01:43

... have been made
by their nimble and gifted hands.

:01:49

It was from these missions the Jesuit
fathers carried the word of God...

:01:55

... to those Indians still
existing in their natural state...

:01:59

... and received in return... martyrdom.
