Feasts starts on BBC4 on Wednesday 20th May at 9pm

I join some of the most extraordinary feasts and festivals around the world for wild drunken riots, full body-painting and all manner of spiritual crises. It’s an attempt to get a deeper understanding of how the world works. Honest. There are three x 60min episodes: India, Japan and Mexico.
