Moving Upstream: Ganga

Walking 3000 km along an Indian river

This documentary, filmed on a walk along River Ganga, is part of Veditum India Foundation’s Moving Upstream project. The walk took place between June 2016 and April 2017, starting from Ganga Sagar in West Bengal and finishing at Gangotri in Uttarakhand. Initiated with an intention to document the river and life of the riparian community of River Ganga, the project attempts to amplify the voices and concerns of the river people, woven together through the medium of the walk.
