From sacrifices in honour of Voodoo spirits in the west to a rock-hewn church in the highlands of northern Ethiopia, Pete explores the spiritual traditions of Africa. In a gruelling journey through the continent where all human life began, Pete hopes to get a glimpse of Man’s first experience of the divine. Setting off to explore the spiritual traditions of Africa, he starts with the ancient practice of Voodoo in Benin. Confronted by ritual practices that contradict his own, deeply held religious convictions, he is forced to decide whether he should even take part. Next stop is Botswana, to meet the San Bushmen, inheritors of the earliest religious faith on Earth. In South Africa, Pete discovers surprising new developments in religious belief when he meets the members of the 12th Apostolic Church, and is stunned to find Afrikaners who believe the world is about to come to an end. In Ethiopia, he finds a group of one of the world’s youngest religions – Rastafarians – who have set up a Utopian community in this harsh and unforgiving land. His journey reaches its emotional conclusion in the highlands of northern Ethiopia, where members of Africa’s oldest Christian church have gathered in an ancient, rock-hewn church to pray, as they have prayed for almost 2,000 years.

In this moving and at times disturbing film, Pete travels throughout the Middle East encountering Whirling Dervishes, folk religion of the Alevis and more. Peter Owen Jones explores the roots of religious conflict in the Middle East. His month-long journey starts in Jerusalem with sites sacred to three of the world’s biggest religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. He arrives on Good Friday and meets Christian pilgrims retracing Christ’s final steps to Golgotha. Over the Jewish festival of Purim he questions Zionist settlers and the father of a Palestinian suicide bomber about the causes of intolerance and the effects of the violence. He travels to Syria to explore Islam and the mystical Sufi tradition of the Whirling Derivishes. In Turkey Pete discovers the older and much less well known folk religion of the Alevis. Venturing across the border into Iraq, he tracks down the ancient and obscure group known as the Yazidis at their temple in the mountains of the north. His journey is full of uncomfortable revelations about the nature of religious intolerance, but ends with a redemptive message of peace.

Pete explores Karma in a Tibetan Buddhist monastery high in the mountains and attends the 300th anniversary of a Sikh guru. Pete travels from the Nepalese Himalayas to the south of India to make sense of the mystery of Indian religions. He finds out about the transmigration of the soul, karma, the pantheon of gods and the high regard for gurus. He visits a Tibetan Buddhist monastery high in the mountains. In Calcutta, he takes part in the colourful Durga Puja festival and meets the Agori who live amongst the dead. He then travels to the deserts of Rajastan, where he finds Hindu sects ready to walk on fire or even pay the ultimate price for their gurus. In Mumbai, he attends a Zoroastran marriage and investigates why one of the world’s oldest religions is in danger of disappearing. He discovers how Sikhism had a violent birth as he attends the 300th anniversary of its greatest guru’s death, and then journeys South to learn about Jainism, a faith which renounces violence against every living creature. Finally, he spends Diwali in a tiny village at a dung-slinging festival, with inevitable results.

Pete meets a Candomble priestess at her house on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro and takes a mind-expanding hallucinogen with a New Age community in the forests of Brazil. In Latin America, Pete smokes cigars with ‘Mother Death’ in Mexico, ventures deep into a Bolivian mine to meet a terrifying god of the underworld, and takes a natural hallucinogen with a New Age community in the forests of Brazil. He also discovers that the centuries-old dominance of the Catholic Church is being challenged by a huge explosion of new religions and the re-emergence of dormant practices from the past. But his search to understand the diverse spiritualities of the New World proves to be a testing experience. Pete encounters the radical methods of an influential Pentecostal preacher in one of Rio de Janeiro’s most notorious prisons, and has to hold his nerve when the minister tries to exorcise Pete’s addiction to nicotine. In Brasilia, Pete witnesses the space-age pageantry of a UFO-worshipping community, where a medium reading gets out of control and Pete has to deal with a dark and frightening presence from the spirit world.
