In South Bermondsey lies Millwall Football Stadium, Baitul Aziz Mosque and the Christ Apostolic Gospel Church. Each week these venues fill up with masses of people who come to worship three very different religions, and yet they are all on a search for something similar. THE MASSES explores how three South Londoners practice their own form of worship through public rituals and private emotions. It is about how we form collective identities and why we feel the need to 'believe'.
