Pilgrimage to Karbala: Iran, Iraq, and Shia Islam

It is the summer of 2006, and a bus filled with Iranian men and women sets out on a perilous journey to the holy sites of Najaf and Karbala in war-torn Iraq. Wide Angle accompanies them on their pilgrimage—revealing many of the attitudes, beliefs, and emotions that add to the complexity of modern Islam. As the bus rolls through breathtaking desert landscapes, the five-day odyssey takes on spiritual as well as historical dimensions. Each traveler recalls past anxieties and dangers—having lived through Iran’s 1979 revolution and its war with Iraq—and each marvels at the chance to experience the longed-for Karbala pilgrimage, impossible during Saddam Hussein’s rule. In addition to this moving and sometimes disturbing story, anchor Daljit Dhaliwal talks with Dr. Vali Nasr, Adjunct Senior Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and author of The Shia Revival: How Conflicts Within Islam Will Shape the Future. (87 minutes)
