Focus Years: 2008 | Country: India
Synopsis:
By the end of the second millennium, as the Aryans spread southward to cover the entire Indo-Gangetic plain, the Ganges became their most sacred river. Of all the places along the Ganga, Benares is perhaps the oldest living city in the world. Because of the overwhelming reverential impact of the Ganges on hundreds of millions of Hindus, a real life paradox today haunts the citizens of Benares. For how long can they continue to ignore the gap between the ritual purity of the river and it's actual level of cleanliness. Today, this divide is so wide that combined with global warming and climate change, it threatens the very life of the river and it's source the Gangotri glacier.
