Semana Santa in Seville documents the Spanish city's annual celebration of Holy Week - a tradition which dates back more than five centuries. Lifesize images of Christ and the Virgin and scenes of the passion are carried in procession through the city on magnificently adorned platforms, escorted by long files of hooded penitents. This 52-minute program covers the history and art of the Semana Santa in Seville.
