Description 1 online resource (54 minutes)
Summary The greatest gatherings on Earth are rituals. They bind us together and keep communities alive. In Siena, rival districts battle for supremacy in a 700 year-old horserace. In Japan, two thousand men perform a chaotic fire ritual to be renewed, while in Malaysia, one devotee joins millions to fulfill a grueling vow to god. At the world's highest mass ritual in the Peruvian Andes, men are initiated into their ancient clan; and in the desert, Burning Man's new rituals fulfil our desire to belong
