MOTHER GANGES,
By
This review is from: Ganges [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
Once again the BBC has produced another spectacular production this being "GANGES" along with Planet Earth and other BBC documentaries.It's worth checking out other listings on Amazon. The narrator Suda Bhuchar is worth mentioning.At times her rather monotone (carefully planed I would think)narration is somehow very fitting to the style and steady flow of the film.The actual source of the Ganges is still somewhat unknown,due to it's many springs and tributaries from the majestic mountains of the Himalayas.Volatile relationships between human and beast is shown from the rivers beginnings to it's final exit through Calcutta and out into the Bay of Bengal.All this captured through the amazing photography that is breathtakingly superb. Mother Ganges as she is known to the some half a billion peoples, living and making their Holy Pilgrimage's along her banks is a wonder to behold.So many of these are impoverished men,women and children trying to eak out a meager living.The declining forrests and lands of the mighty tiger and most other species of animals is shown in rather a suttle way.Never preaching at us,but,never the less making it quite obvious that it is global warming causing what is now and becoming a devastation to the river and land.Hopefully an other wake up call that must be paid attention to. The Blu Ray version of Ganges is a momentous and moving event revealing the wonderful journey of MOTHER GANGES, just breathtaking. Paul Barrington

Truly epic documentary,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ganges (DVD)
You really can't go wrong with BBC Earth productions, and this one is no exception. Three hours of spectacular images, excellent sound and music, with very informative and engaging narration. Both the wildest and the most densely settled parts of India appear in the three-part series; both the clashes and the collaborations between humans and wild animals appear here in often surprising ways. This DVD is comparable to Galapagos, another favorite of mine; you'll want to see it more than once!

Not the greatest but still interesting,
By
This review is from: Ganges [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
I liked the way it was organized , the 3 episodes followed the Ganges from the Himalayas in the first, through the main part in the send and to the delta in the third.Concentrated too much on the people and not enough on the wildlife for my liking, but had some interesting bits on the snake worshipers and the honey hunters in the tiger forests. Co produced by CTV travel channel so it kind of hurt the (short) series.
