Documentary - Da Vinci’s Code

Dan Brown's best-selling novel The Da Vinci Code claims that Jesus fathered a bloodline hidden for centuries by a secret society. In this documentary, National Geographic looks for the evidence of fact behind this popular work of fiction. From the existence of a secret society said to guard the secrets of Jesus Christ's bloodline to Da Vinci's alleged clues placed within his paintings, the National Geographic team speaks with scholars from around the globe to find out what measure of truth Brown's book holds, and why some believe that the descendants of Jesus exist to this very day.
