Blas de Lezo | El medio hombre que venció a un imperio

Blas de Lezo wasn't a whole man. He was missing a leg, an arm, and an eye. And yet… he defeated the largest fleet England had ever sent to the Americas. In 1741, Cartagena de Indias was the scene of one of the most unequal battles in history. Faced with overwhelming force, one man resisted when all seemed lost. This is the story of Blas de Lezo. The man whom war tried to destroy… and couldn't. We unearth brief stories from the Spain we weren't taught. We don't aim to be exhaustive or academic: our videos are a first approach, a gateway to spark curiosity and a desire to learn more.
