A segment of the RTP documentary series "Vozes da Lusitania," created by Sofia Leite for Portugal's own public broadcaster in 2003, devoted to Endovelico, the pre-Roman Lusitanian god of healing, medicine, the earth, the underworld and protection of life after death. It covers his sanctuary at Sao Miguel da Mota, near Terena in Alandroal, where nearly a hundred Latin votive inscriptions to him survive, and his continued veneration into the Roman period.
