'Faultlines', the 6-part series presented by John McCarthy was repeated on ITV1 in November 2004. With updates to reflect the changes that have occurred over the last couple of years, John visits six very different countries to explore the often fraught relationship between religion and politics.

Faultlines dares to go where no dinner party conversation would - the subject of religion and politics, two of the most controversial yet powerful subjects on the planet. We travel with former Beirut hostage John McCarthy to six countries: Israel, Iran, India, Brazil, Russia and finally, the USA. Different religious and political forces are at work in each of these countries and the engagement between the two makes for fascinating stories - and headline news.
