2. River of Life
Following the River Ganges as it journeys across Northern India, this film explores the colourful natural history of the Gangetic Plains. Once a rich wilderness teeming with tigers, lions and cheetahs, the plains have been transformed into the most densely populated place on Earth. Nourished by the sacred river's gift of life, this remarkable region has witnessed the rise of great civilisations and the evolution of the Hindu religion, but how has the wildlife of the plains adapted to survive this increasingly human dominated world?

3. Waterland
Documentary about India's most sacred river. As the Ganges nears the sea it divides into the many channels of the delta, a vast and beautiful region where boundaries between land and water are blurred. Here the most densely-packed human population on Earth lives alongside the unique animals of the Sundarbans Forest. People are threatened by the close proximity of wild animals, and the danger of flooding, yet it is the ever-changing river that ultimately sustains the great abundance of life here.
