One man's journey into the world of the so-called 'Bloodline' conspiracy, at the heart of Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code, where a secret society, the Priory of Sion, claims to have guarded evidence of the marriage of Mary Magdalene and Jesus Christ, their children and their descendants down through the centuries.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Priory of Sion was definitively debunked as a 20th-century hoax in the 1990s—this film's 2008 release means Burgess walked into this knowing exactly what he was doing.
Real archaeologist Gabriel Barkay's participation lends accidental legitimacy; he later expressed regret, making his segments fascinating time capsules of scholarly patience cracking.
