Holy War (2011) Crusade to Jerusalem
Sanctioned by the Pope, Christian crusaders invade the Holy Land with the goal of capturing Jerusalem.
This is the very first documentary on the Holy War from the dual perspective of East and West. It traces the mobilization of religious sentiment for political purposes on both sides, and shows how false notions of East and West are entrenched in our collective consciousness. Compelling live-action dramatizations and CGI put the viewer in the midst of major historical confrontations, and leading international experts explain how the relations between cultures and religions evolved against the background of the Holy Wars.
