Follow the journey of Iranian pilgrims from Tehran to the holy city of Karbala, deep inside a shattered Iraq.

In the summer of 2006, as the Iranian-backed Hezbollah fought off Israelis in Lebanon and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad faced down President George Bush at the United Nations, a bus full of Iranian pilgrims left Tehran on a journey to the holy city of Karbala, deep inside a shattered Iraq. WIDE ANGLE follows this intense journey into the heartlands 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 increasingly dominate events and attitudes in the Middle East today.
