This production serves as an educational lecture series rather than a narrative film. Since it focuses on historical revisionism and investigative theories, traditional character-driven metrics like the Bechdel test do not apply. The work successfully disrupts established historical hierarchies by presenting the Templars as creators of a covert, independent nation-state. This approach challenges the singular authority of the Church and conventional Western canons. However, the lecture format limits diversity. The focus remains on a historically male-dominated military order, and there is a notable absence of representation regarding gender, disability, or LGBTQ+ identities.

Official Synopsis
The conclusion of Freddy Silva's two-part lecture about a well-kept secret about the Knights Templar, asking what if the Templars were active in Europe a decade before their "official" creation in the Holy Land. Were they carrying out a covert exercise to create Europe's first independent nation-state, and there established a kingdom within a kingdom? Based on material from his explosive book First Templar Nation, bestselling author Silva reveals a previously unknown chapter in the story of these enigmatic knights. He explores the Grail, its location, the Templar's secret initiation chambers, and evidence that the knights practiced an ancient ritual in which candidates were "risen from the dead." All this in the one place no one has ever thought to look.
