Summary Incredible ceremonies to mark birth, marriage and death: in the Amazon, a Kayapo family performs rituals to protect a baby from their ancestors' spirits, modern teenagers in China take part in an ancient match-making festival to find love, a Tuareg couple return to their desert roots for their wedding day, and in Indonesia, the Torajan people stage the most elaborate funerals on Earth. At every turn, rituals connect us with our ancestors in an endless circle of life
