Hindi with English subtitles
Filmed in a hospice for the dying and on the ghats of Kashi, the documentary follows four families’ struggle to grant a loved one’s final wish: to go to heaven. In their common quest the families become a fraction of the hordes of Hindus drawn to Kashi’s holy promise of freedom from reincarnation. As the clans prepare for death, the citizens of Kashi manage life all along the banks of the Ganges River. GANGES: RIVER TO HEAVEN investigates the inextricable bond between a river and its people with unparalleled intimacy and depth.
Q&A with director Gayle Ferraro to follow the screening.
Screens with Oscar Nominated short film, LITTLE TERRORIST Directed by Ashvin Kumar.
