S1 E2: In Mali, a young Muslim helps to re-plaster the Great Mosque of Djenné, in the hope of a place in paradise. At Japan’s Nachi waterfall, a Shinto devotee undertakes a gruelling challenge to ensure the wellbeing of Japan for another year. And at the Cathedral of St John the Divine in New York, an Episcopal priest performs an astonishing ceremony to bring people, and their animals, closer to God.
