Synopsis
During his ten years as Prime Minister of Great Britain, Tony Blair was deliberately discreet about his religious faith. His press spokesman famously said "we don't do God".
But now, having left office, Tony Blair is setting up the Tony Blair Faith Foundation, designed to bring people of different religious faiths together, to promote dialogue and work collaboratively on development projects.
Christopher Landau has been given exclusive access to Tony Blair and his team as they travel to the USA and begin their work. In the first programme, we follow Tony Blair's battle to encourage a secularising world to take faith seriously.
He now runs a "Faith and Globalisation" course at Yale University, and plans to build a centre for inter-faith dialogue in London. But will his plans amount to anything - or is he too divisive a figure to promote inter-faith collaboration?
