Truth or Fiction

S1, E1: The Lost Symbol: Truth or Fiction will separate the myths from the truths and examine the history of The Freemasons. Ever since the release of Dan Browns The Da Vinci Code the publics interest in secret societies has rocketed, but now everything you thought you knew about the most famous world order of all - The Freemasons - is about to change. For nearly three hundred years, millions of Freemasons have obeyed their oaths, hidden their rituals and inspired conspiracy theories about secret governments and global control. Now the doors of freemason lodges will be flung open as we feature exclusive footage filmed all over the world. Who are they really and why has Dan Brown chosen them to be the focus of his new book The Lost Symbol? In this one hour special, we will explore how the Freemasons started, who they are and examine the biggest conspiracy theories surrounding them. After centuries of rumor, suspicion and scandal - we go in search of the truth and ask do the freemasons deserve the reputation given to them by conspiracy theorists?
