Plot Summary, Synopsis, Review: IMDb:
«Documentary series in 4 parts in which Henry Lincoln, co-author of The
Holy Blood and the Holy Grail, explains the original background to the 'Holy
Bloodline' hypothesis. Episode 1 "The Lost Treasure" begins on the Danish island
Bornholm with the intriguing Templar churches. Lincoln then travels to the
Languedoc to examine the history and influence of the Knights Templar, and to
Rennes-le-Château, where the priest Bérenger Saunière supposedly discovered the
now famous parchments. Episode 2 "Guardians of the Grail" explores the possible
nature of the secret which led to Saunière's mysterious wealth. The clues point
to connections with alchemy, cabalism, the Templars and the beliefs of the
Cathars. Episode 3 "Only for the Initiated" explores links to the Templars, the
Cathars and the Merovingian bloodline which hint a controversial interpretation
of the nature of the 'Holy Grail'. Why is that shadowy organization, the Priory
of Sion, so strongly linked to this story? In episode 4 "Exploration of the
Invisible" Lincoln reveals the most astonishing discovery about
Rennes-le-Château which again returns us to the churches of Bornholm».
