"The Crusades" makes no attempt to enter into the minds of medieval Christians. In fact, the film suggests that Medieval Christianity (and specifically Catholicism) is utterly irrational, bloodthirsty, and a forerunner to Nazism. No attempt is made to interview academics who might provide an even minimally sympathetic (or at the least, neutral) account of these events. All the Popes, cardinals, bishops, and priests are motivated solely by greed, ambition, or religious superstition. "The Crusades" is highly recommended for those who've already made up their minds about this chaotic period of European history and merely want to see their bigotry confirmed.
