Applying Sociological Theory to "A Sacred Journey"

How might you apply one of the three sociological perspectives to the ideas and experiences presented in this documentary? (using one or more of the Learning Resources ) 

Ensure to read (or listen to) "mini-lecture" and read the assigned Learning Resources; then watch one of the PBS Sacred Journeys documentaries listed in the Learning Resources  (Please feel free to choose whichever one you like. You do not need to watch more than one of the documentaries unless you have extra time and would like to do so.)

Please be sure to cite your sources using the APA citation style, and include a reference list at the end of the sources you have cited. Note: At the very least, you should have one citation for the theory from the Learning Resources and one for the documentary that you watched.
