Full Story | In July of 1187, almost a century after it was established, the
Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem is in turmoil. Having lost decisive
battles to the Muslim forces, the survivors struggle to find their way
back to Christian towns. One such Christian soldier, in his search
for clean drinking water, has enough fight left in him to take a
Muslim soldier hostage. This forces an uneasy truce as they make
their way through the desert. Nice photography, well-worn armor,
and good acting all work to propel this microcosm of political
distrust forward. |
