The Knights Templar (2000) - DVD Review

Film:
DVD:

Written and Directed by: James Wignall
Narrated by: Art Malik

Released by: BFS Entertainment
Region: 1
Rating: NR
Anamorphic: N/A, appears in its original 1.33:1 format.

My Advice: Rent It if you like history.

The Knights of the Temple of Solomon or the Knights Templar are a famous part of the history of the Crusades, but they can be perplexing. They took a vow of poverty, but controlled a multinational financial network. Their battle tactics were the seed for modern military discipline, but they still lost the Holy Land to the forces of Islam. And although their order was based on killing and dying for God, they were nevertheless burned as Devil worshippers. The documentary series The Knights Templar gives us a glimpse into the history and myths associated with these warrior monks.
