Montsegur - Journey To The Top - Leslie Cottle

This is a very emotional little mini-documentary I just completed of my first exciting climb up the sacred mountain of Montsegur, in Languedoc, France - Once home to the Cathars and the site of the barbaric siege during the Albigensian Crusade by the Catholic church on March 16, 1244, burning at the stake over 200 innocent souls on that night alone. May they always be remembered. The reason I decided to share such a private and emotional experience is that I feel it was time to let down my guard and just express my opinions on such an important topic, their story deserves to be told and their sacred sites need to be visited and healed. And for those who are feeling drawn to this place, it's history and the Cathars, this one is for you, I hope it gives you the inspiration you need to visit and at least to experience this through my eyes for the sake of healing. If I can do it, anyone can! Vive Les Cathares! I hope you enjoy it!!!
