Little Ricky Barreto really out did himself on this low budget documentary that was to have aired on a local PBS station in Miami.

Mr.Bareddo has taken a dry dusty subject and made it somewhat interesting once again. Spanning the new and old world he sent crews to shoot in Europe, Florida and California in order to get the real behind the scene story of how an Old Spanish Monestary ended up on the shores of North Miami Beach, Florida. Fortunes were spent, reputations where gained and lost to have this rocky jig saw puzzle from Spain reconstructed in the Sunshine State.

Shot on digital video and film, Baretto captures the splendid beauty of this religious relic of the Dark Ages that nearly bankrupted Randolph Hearst and anyone else that has had any dealings with this crusty pile of rocks.

One can hardly wait for Mr. Baredos future documentaries dealing with other religious relics he's dug up. Kudos, Ricky B. You've made the Dark Ages fun again.
