Synopsis
Iconic cultural festivals

Somewhere across the globe on any given day of the year, a cultural festival is taking place. Whatever the location, festivals of life nourish us with ancient rituals in a fast-changing world. They cover all facets of the human condition, the changing seasons, weddings, coming of age ceremonies, births and deaths, the worship of gods and the battle against evil spirits.

Festivals showcase three of the world’s most iconic cultural festivals at close quarters, revealing the modern face of ancient traditions. We discover China’s Spring Festival which focuses on family and good fortune for the New Year ahead. We then travel to Morocco for the Berber Wedding Festival which surrounds marrying couples with music and the sounds of a massive harvest market. Finally, we visit Mexico’s riotous Day of the Dead celebrations, uniting the living and the dead in feasting, dancing and fantastic decoration.
