BBC Two - The Retreat, Episode 2

To defuse tension, the group are taken to Morocco to experience Islam in action.

Documentary following six people as they undertake a four-week Islamic retreat in Spain. To defuse tension within the group, they're taken to Morocco to experience Islam in action.

While Pom, Azim and Khadijah have immersed themselves in the intense daily routine of prayer, silent contemplation and spiritually uplifting work on the land, Muddassar and Simon are both struggling – Muddassar to cope without his mobile phones, and Simon to engage with his heart rather than his head. Meanwhile, Aisha, however, is not engaging at all.  

To try and defuse the mounting tension within the group, retreat leader Abdullah Trevathan takes them on a two day visit to nearby Morocco. But will experiencing Islam in action have the desired effect?
