Episode: Pilgrimage to Karbala

In the summer of 2006, Iranian pilgrims left Tehran by bus for the holy city of Karbala, deep inside a shattered Iraq. "Pilgrimage To Karbala" follows this journey into the heart of Shia Islam, revealing how two ancient crimes, the murder of Muhammad's grandson and the disappearance of a six-year-old imam, became the founding legends of Shiism and dominate events in the Middle East today.
