arrival of Artigas, the May revolution was a matter of Buenos Aires merchants and a small enlightened group that hardly knew the neighborhood of the popular classes. 74 00:08:11,100 --> 00:08:15,100 The preferred terrain, the eastern boss. 75 00:08:19,100 --> 00:08:20,100 How was this made? 76 00:08:21,100 --> 00:08:22,100 Give me, colonel! 77 00:08:23,100 --> 00:08:24,100 Okay, Mariela! 78

00:09:08,100 --> 00:09:09,100 Lose her. 88 00:09:12,100 --> 00:09:13,100 Losing it is cowardly. 89 00:09:15,100 --> 00:09:21,100 Giving up our freedom is giving up our human condition. 90 00:09:21,100 --> 00:09:23,100 But it is not the human condition. 91 00:09:51,100 --> 00:09:52,100 Lose her. 92 00:09:52,100 --> 00:09:53,100 Lose her. 93 00:09:53,100 --> 00:09:54,100 Lose her. 94 00:09:54,100 -->

you see Pacaray, the lord who shines. 98 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:40,100 But in 1780, he was just the rebellious son of one of the founding families of Montevideo. 99 00:10:56,100 --> 00:11:08,320 Don Martín, our father, knew how to do business. 100 00:11:09,260 --> 00:11:15,620 Until the beginning of the war we had a comfortable life financially. 101 00:11:17,560 --> 00:11:21,420 But as a young man, José liked the country life. 102 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,540 At 15 years old he left us. 103 00:11:25,580 --> 00:11:26,120 So that? 104 00:11:26,660 --> 00:11:32,160 To go live in the tolderías with the Indians and in the quilombolas with the escaped slaves. 105 00:11:47,560 --> 00:11:51,320 It was there that he became a cattle smuggler. 106 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:53,460 The best in southern Brazil. 107 00:11:53,860 --> 00:11:59,280 He knew every plain, river, ford, and blade of the eastern province like the back of his hand. 108 00:12:00,180 --> 00:12:00,860 He talks about Uriah. 109 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:04,900 How many lies are told. 110 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:08,100 Look, let it be known. 111 00:12:08,900 --> 00:12:12,960 Father received the carts with hides that José sent from the campaign. 112 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,680 And father later sold them at the port. 113 00:12:16,900 --> 00:12:17,480 That's all. 114 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:32,040 The stories of their adventures reached the ears of the viceroy or the war of Felión. 115 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:38,200 From one day to the next he went from being pursued to being a pursuer. 116 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,800 He was the only one who could keep the Indians and Portuguese raiders at bay. 117 00:12:43,900 --> 00:12:45,240 I didn't tell him he was a traitor. 118 00:12:46,460 --> 00:12:49,800 Yes, the most efficient. 119 00:12:51,220 --> 00:12:53,260 It was useful when I was governor of Montevideo. 120 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,980 Of course he never believed in his redemption. 121 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:13,920 By 1795, on the eastern side, a certain disorder prevailed. 122 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:19,780 Many Portuguese stole hides, cattle and horses that they took to Brazil. 123 00:13:20,780 --> 00:13:25,200 The crown creates the corps of softies from the Montevideo border 124 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:30,720 and proposes a pardon for smugglers and criminals who want to take part. 125 00:13:31,860 --> 00:13:36,780 Artigas, 33 years old, enters the force under the protection of a pardon. 126 00:13:37,780 --> 00:13:43,160 There he had a successful career as a guardian of order and protector of the neighbors. 127 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:52,920 In 1805, after his outstanding work in the missions, 128 00:13:53,380 --> 00:13:57,840 Artigas takes leave to marry Rosalía. 129 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,380 When Joseph married her, 130 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,760 It seemed that he was going to permanently leave barracks life. 131 00:14:22,820 --> 00:14:25,740 Even more so, when his son, José María, was born. 132 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,140 I loved that guy so much, my brother. 133 00:14:32,780 --> 00:14:35,860 But that year came the English invasions 134 00:14:35,860 --> 00:14:40,000 and Joseph returned to the vice of war. 135 00:14:42,060 --> 00:14:45,780 From then on, they were all tragedies. 136 00:14:47,540 --> 00:14:49,980 Daughters who died early, 137 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:52,620 Joseph's continued campaigns. 138 00:14:53,740 --> 00:14:55,540 And Rosalía couldn't stand it 139 00:14:55,540 --> 00:14:57,900 and began to sink into madness. 140 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,380 And José, to move further and further away from her 141 00:15:06,380 --> 00:15:09,140 and of that man child that he loved so much. 142 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:13,840 I don't know why he started a family 143 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,000 if he liked camp life so much. 144 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:28,180 When in May 1810, 145 00:15:28,180 --> 00:15:33,180 The Buenos Aires Creoles rise up against the Spanish crown, 146 00:15:33,180 --> 00:15:52,240 Artigas, who at that time was an officer in the king's service, 147 00:15:52,860 --> 00:15:56,080 does not hesitate to cross from Montevideo to Buenos Aires 148 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,980 to put himself at the service of the revolution. 149 00:16:00,980 --> 00:16:04,860 The revolutionary junta was divided into two sides. 150 00:16:05,700 --> 00:16:08,780 Conservatives, who do not seek any social change, 151 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,820 except replacing the Spanish authorities 152 00:16:11,820 --> 00:16:13,360 by the rich Creoles. 153 00:16:13,980 --> 00:16:14,920 And the acobinos, 154 00:16:15,500 --> 00:16:18,540 who seek their own version of the French revolution 155 00:16:18,540 --> 00:16:20,660 and they were already thinking about independence. 156 00:16:21,620 --> 00:16:22,720 But for both of us, 157 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,680 Buenos Aires should be the center of power. 158 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:26,680 Viva! 159 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:27,680 Viva! 160 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:28,680 Long live Artigas! 161 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:29,680 Long live Artigas! 162 00:16:29,680

Moreno. 181 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:54,680 Artigas was a reckless and extremely popular man. 182 00:16:55,680 --> 00:17:01,680 He was the bogeyman of the Banda Oriental campaign and they wanted him on their side. 183 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:06,680 With the news from Buenos Aires, word began to spread throughout the campaign. 184 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:14,680 In every rancherio, grocery store, chapel, fire pit, Don Pepe had deserted. 185 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,680 He had gone over to the side of the revolution. 186 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,680 The Revolutionary Junta names him Lieutenant Colonel. 187 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:24,680 They give him money and 150 men with whom he crosses the Uruguay River. 188 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,680 In his homeland he achieved his first military triumphs. 189 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:39,680 That Artigas rises is a signal for all Easterners to rise. 190 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:41,680 That's why Montevideo panics. 191 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:56,680 They even send him an emissary who offers him money, military grade. 192 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,680 Until the governorship of Buenos Aires. 193 00:17:58,680 --> 00:17:59,680 But Artigas is determined. 194 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:13,680 Loyal and hardworking compatriots of the Eastern Band of the Río de la Plata. 195 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:21,680 And that continuing with heroics is analogous to your honest feelings. 196 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:26,680 Exterminate those wayward oppressive geniuses from our soil. 197 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,680 To the company compatriots. 198 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,680 That the triumph is ours. 199 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,680 Win or die be our number. 200 00:18:51,680 --> 00:19:08,680 First of all, he was the worst of the smugglers. 201 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,680 Then he sold himself to the crown and dedicated himself to pursuing them. 202 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:16,680 Until he turned around again to become a revolutionary. 203 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,680 Ah, Artigas. 204 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,680 But listen well, listen well. 205 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,680 Artigas not only ruined the crown's plans. 206 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,680 Also those of the revolution. 207 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,680 The Spanish crown organizes a counterrevolution. 208 00:19:52,680 --> 00:20:04,680 He declared Montevideo, capital of the viceroyalty, and commissioned the new viceroy, Francisco Javier de Elío, to ruthlessly crush the independence attempts. 209 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,680 Elío has two advantages. 210 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:15,680 It has a walled and impenetrable city like Montevideo. 211 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,680 And a powerful naval fleet to blockade Buenos Aires. 212 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,680 But his Achilles heel lies elsewhere. 213 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:25,680 The Las Piedras stream. 214 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,680 The stream us. 215 00:20:28,680 -->

stream us. 291 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:21,680 The stream us. 292 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:22,680 The stream us. 293 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:23,680 The stream us. 294 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:24,680 The

so that the storm has wet their powder. 351 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,680 I don't want many deaths. 352 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,680 I want you to give up. 353 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,680 And while I'm at it, I'll keep the cannons. 354 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,680 If not, they defeat us sooner. 355 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,680 Have you ever heard of Rome? 356 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,680 The boyfriend, what did he do? 357 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,680 The greatness of Rome was not in the army, 358 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,680 but in the men and women who worked in the fields. 359 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:19,680 Without them, the cowards and lazy people of the city 360 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:20,680 They couldn't survive. 361 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:26,680 If we rebel, 362 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,680 There will be no army that is worth it. 363 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,680 So what's your order? 364 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,680 Fight through mud and dung, as always. 365 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:47,680 What's happening? 366 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,680 Are they afraid of getting their leggings dirty? 367 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:49,680 What's happening? 368 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:50,680 Are they afraid of getting their leggings dirty? 369 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,680 What happened in the battle of the stones? 370 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:12,680 Look, sir. 371 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,680 We never thought that an irregular force of those characteristics 372 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,680 dares to appear before the walls of Montevideo. 373 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,680 Therefore, on paper it was an impossible battle to lose. 374 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,680 But with Artigas on the other side, man, 375 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,680 nothing is impossible. 376 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:39,680 What do you want me to tell you? 377 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:50,680 That afternoon, because of me, Montevideo began to fall. 378 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:52,680 It's... 379 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:02,680 simple. 380 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,680 What good, I ask, is a line army? 381 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,680 A trained militia corps 382 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,680 against a horde of brutes 383 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,680 that disperse like wild beasts. 384 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,680 And in that, Artigas was an expert. 385 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:28,680 An expert! 386 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:30,680 A cattle thief herding it 387 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:32,680 towards his own corral. 388 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,680 The fight began at 11 p.m. 389 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,680 Artigas divided his troops into three columns. 390 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:46,680 Well, in all the war manuals, 391 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:48,680 It was a battle won. 392 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:49,680 And so it was. 393 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:51,680 For hours. 394 00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,680 But there is no war manual that can tell one 395 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,680 how to fight a horde of savages. 396 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,680 Faced with a closed formation and good artillery, 397 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:14,680 Artigas opposed this diabolical invention. 398 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:18,680 Montoneras war. 399 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,680 A division barely armed with goalscorers 400 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,680 He appeared from the rear and we were trapped. 401 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,680 They pushed us back into the trenches. 402 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:40,680 It was impossible to maintain authority. 403 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:42,680 It had been unleashed... 404 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:44,680 a hurricane of revenge. 405 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:52,680 The fear was such that in the last hours 406 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:54,680 had taken over the troops. 407 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,680 That they fled from the cries of the enemy 408 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,680 without the words of

00:31:32,680 Let the guitar start playing! 467 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:33,680 Let the guitar start playing! 468 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:56,680 Without the battle of the stones, 469 00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:58,680 the revolution would have been stifled 470 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:00,680 one year after his birth. 471 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:04,680 Five days later, 472 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:07,680 Artigas begins the siege of Montevideo. 473 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,680 The most militarized bastion of the Río de la Plata 474 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:13,680 is completely isolated. 475 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:18,680 How would you define Artigas? 476 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:24,680 A curse. 477 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:28,680 A curse. 478 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,680 An indomitable spirit. 479 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:40,680 An enlightened one. 480 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,680 He thought that the revolution 481 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:47,680 It wasn't about changing things in the place, 482 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:50,680 but to put things in their place. 483 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,680 An eternal sower of discord. 484 00:32:57,680 --> 00:32:58,680 I believe it never existed. 485 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:02,680 It is an invention of the countrymen. 486 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,680 It is an invention of the countrymen. 487 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:08,680 Ha ha ha. 488 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:12,680 Twenty years after his exile, 489 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,680 I find old Artigas again. 490 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:17,680 The Lord who shines. 491 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:17,680 The Lord who shines. 492 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:17,680 In Buenos Aires, in Rio de Janeiro and in Montevideo, 493 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:17,680 Everyone asks what happened to him. 494 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:18,680 Just in case you doubt, they don't want me to come back. 495 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:19,680 They don't want me to come back. 496 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:32,340 Twenty years after his exile, I meet old Artigas again, the man who shines. 497 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:41,420 In Buenos Aires, in Rio de Janeiro and in Montevideo, everyone asks what happened to him. 498 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,780 Just in case you doubt, they don't want me to come back. 499 00:33:47,580 --> 00:33:49,580 What does English do? 500 00:33:49,580 --> 00:33:52,420 What the hell did he come for?
