Returning to his home continent, Pete finds a number of unexpected rituals and sects, including underground New Age temples in Italy and shamans in Norway. Pete ends his religious odyssey in Europe, his home continent, where he discovers a series of unexpected and surprising rituals and sects: huge underground New Age temples in Italy, shamans in Norway, and Europe’s only Buddhist republic. He also discovers a darker side to faith in the tumultuous history of religion in Europe and finds that his own church was responsible for intolerance, persecution and death. This turns out to be a troubling and deeply personal journey for Pete, however, and he questions how he will adapt when he returns to his own parish.

Everyman follows four English women on a package-tour pilgrimage to Bosnia. Every day for 15 years, the Virgin Mary has appeared to a group of six young Croatians.

The multi-award winning African journalist Sorious Samura tells the story of how when he first arrived in Europe he worked 24-hours a day, six days a week before finally making a break-through and becoming the film-maker he wanted to be. With such experience, he takes us on a journey in this film as he follows migrants from West African countries as they set out to breach the walls of Fortress Europe. He shows us how they face death in the desert journey across the Sahara, before an equally hazardous voyage across the sea to Spain. The refugees willingly risk death to build a new future for themselves, because they don’t see one in Africa. In this documentary Sorious attempts to understand why they feel there is no hope for them in Sierra Leone, Liberia, Nigeria, etc. He asks why they think Europe, if they survive their perilous journey, will have more to offer them? A personal and moving account of migrants' dangerous and long journeys from Africa to Europe.
