Human Sacrifice
- Synopsis
- The documentary gives insight into the ancient rituals and religious practices involved in human sacrifice.
The FORBIDDEN RITES series looks at rituals considered important and acceptable to one society but regarded, particularly in the West, as unacceptable and even abhorrent. The aim is to look at the differences and get explanations from practitioners in other societies as to why such rituals worked for them. - Series
