Grayson Perry: Rites of Passage(2018)

Grayson Perry: Rites of Passage is a documentary series following the celebrated artist as he examines the four universal milestones that shape human life: birth, coming of age, marriage, and death. Perry works directly with people experiencing these pivotal moments, seeking to reimagine and reinvent traditional ceremonies for contemporary secular Britain. Rather than relying on established religious or cultural frameworks, the series explores how modern individuals can create meaningful rituals that reflect their own values and identities. Perry's distinctive perspective brings both humor and depth to these deeply personal transitions, revealing how we mark life's most significant passages in an increasingly diverse society. The result is a thoughtful, often surprising look at what it means to celebrate and honor these fundamental human experiences today.
