La antorcha encendida (1996– )

As with El Vuelo del Aguila (The Flight of the Eagle) and some others soap-operas not indexed (v.gr., El Carruaje, The Chariot)La Antorcha Encendida was a fair attempt to reconcile soap-opera and historical documentary.

The production is good, and the script is able to mix and match key developments of Mexican history, with the standard soap-opera romantic plot, which was helpful to boost the ratings and capture the audience's imagination while offering a good account of Mexican History.
