Empires: Holy Warriors
Muslim warriorsFor centuries, England has gloried in the epic legend of King Richard the Lionhearted and his struggle to save Christendom's holiest city - Jerusalem - from the clutches of its Muslim conqueror Saladin. Using original Muslim and Christian sources and interviews with experts from both the East and West, this drama-documentary challenges the popular view of both Richard and Saladin, re-assessing their relationship and re-evaluating their war, the Third Crusade. Filmed in the Middle East, Holy Warriors tells the story that defined religious conflict for centuries to come and transformed Richard and Saladin into legends. Colin Salmon hosts.
