Garrote Scene from Unknown Movie

i found this movie on youtube called Garroting of fromm Maria. i tried to post a question there asking what the movie was but no posts showed up there. i showed it to a friend and she helped me search through all the movies with maria in there title but none of them seemed to fit. i really want to understand why this woman is being executed and why she is so calm. i would be kicking and screaming. does anyone know the movie or can tell me the story around it?

A lady whose a post-grad history student studying movies of Joan of Arc recognised the movie and told me that its the execution of a woman called Mariana Pineda.

i looked on imdb and its a mini series in 1984 called Proceso a Mariana Pineda and the actress is called Marisol.The lady tells me that she was convicted of treason in Spain in the 19th century and executed on the garotte.
As for why she is so calm. Well the garotte used on her was actually not like the one shown in the movie which is a more modern version. The modern version (used in Spain until the late 1970s) caused a screw to drive into the back of the neck of the victim severing the spine and causing a fairly quick death. The type of garotte used on poor Maria was a collar garotte that means that the collar around ner neck was tightened as the screw turned and she was strangled. The speed with which this happened depended on the executioner. The time taken to kill someone varied between about two minutes to ten minutes. People sentenced to die in this way were often very cooperative in the hope that the executioner would kill them quickly and not slowly.
Joan of Arc walked calmly to the stake as did many other women who were burned for their crimes. The reason for this was almost certainly that they knew that a burning might kill them within a few minutes or it might take over an hour. I guess they were very anxious to try not to upset the man who had control of how long they would suffer for before death.

if anyone knows any joan of Arc movies you could post there names here so that this nice lady can use them in her studies.
