Ganges: River to Heaven

Ganges River to Heaven, is a 2003 American documentary film by Boston filmmaker, Gayle Ferraro. The film documents the culture and beliefs of the Hindu religion across the Ganges River which has been considered holy in India.

Dennis Harvey of Variety reviewed At once lyrical and smellthestench gritty, Ganges River to Heaven provides a respectful, often engrossing overview of the water body thats among the worlds holiest sites. Visually handsome package is enlightening on several levels, resulting in an attractive fest item with good prospects for public tubecast and possible limited theatrical exposure. Devin D. OLeary of Alibi said The films only major drawback is that it never digs quite deep enough into its subject matter. The film is undeniably beautiful, shot with an eye for everyday detailsomething which India is overflowing with. Still, as a simple, gorgeously shot primer on Hindu spirituality, Ganges River of Heaven works, delivering the worthwhile message that maybe death can lead to a greater life.
