This documentary does a great job presenting the rise and fall of the Templar Knights. Everything from the theories of their origins, through their military role, and their financial/banker roles are all nicely covered.
For nearly two centuries, the Knights Templar was the most powerful order in the medieval world. Despite the Knights’ long reign of power, the order experienced a sudden collapse in the early fourteenth century when certain members stood accused of unspeakable crimes and were subsequently tortured and killed. This insightful program interviews some of the world’s leading biblical scholars and visits historic sites throughout Europe and the Near East to probe the past of this mysterious order. Did the Knights, as many believe, guard the Holy Grail? Or was the object of their attentions buried a thousand years before the birth of Christ? The Templar Code is an in-depth examination into the remarkable rise and rapid descent of the powerful and obscure Knights Templar.

A cinematic milestone that can appear only once in every 20 years or so. Another masterpiece from Tsui Hark – A powerful and truly brilliant piece of modern cinema. “Seven Swords” is a truly epic wuxia film. Not merely a showcase for the physical talent, this film has a heart and soul. Its themes run deep and leave a lasting impression on the viewer.
Seven Swords is in the epic spirit of The Seven Samurai and its American cousin, The Magnificent Seven. A grittier enterprise that offers its own unique pleasures – like non-stop action (for which it received a coveted Golden Horse Award). Based on the book Seven Swordsmen from Mountain Tian, the action begins in rural China in the 1600s. The Ching Dynasty has just banned martial arts, and in response seven dissidents band together to fight against Fire-Wind (Honglei Sun) and his minions. The septet includes Hong Kong superstars Charlie Young, Leon Lai, and Hero’s Donnie Yen. One of the mountain villagers they save is pretty Korean refugee Green Pearl, who falls for the moody Chu. Filmed on location in scenic Xinjiang, Seven Swords is a feast for the eyes.
