Jerusalem, 12th century — a dying king, a rising sultan, and a holy war that changed history. (battle of Montgisard, Marj Ayyun, Jacob’s Ford, Le Forbelet, Hattin, The Fall of Jerusalem )
This 1-hour and 26-minute cinematic documentary tells the true story of **King Baldwin IV**, the “Leper King” of Jerusalem, and his legendary struggle against **Saladin**, the unifier of the Islamic world. From the unexpected victory at Montgisard to the crushing defeat at Hattin and the fall of Jerusalem, this is a saga of courage, strategy, betrayal, and destiny.
Witness the final golden age of the Crusader kingdom — and the man who held it together against impossible odds.
