Bruce Burgess, an English filmmaker with a resume that leans heavily to sensational TV documentaries, plunges headlong into the bloodline controversy, an alternate history of the origins of Catholicism.
Burgess' starting point is the Priory of Sion, a secret society supposedly devoted to preserving a secret that could rock the foundations of the Catholic Church: That Jesus survived the crucifixion, married Mary Magdalene, fathered children and died in France, where the Merovingian kings married his descendents. The result was the "sang real," a royal bloodline that is the real holy grail of myth. First put forth in the 1982 book Holy Blood, Holy Grail
