In the beginning I thought this Colombian production was about to be the classic idiotic orientalist breath-taking documentary about the so called Incredible India. Fortunately it wasn't. Actually it calls the viewer's attention on global warming, pollution and depredation of the environment and how the jewel of Ganga (not Ganges) might be lost in the following decades. Although it lacked of scientific support, the idea was to clean India's image of poverty like the river cleans the dirtiness of our souls by using fancy words, so poetry-like narrative was there. But photography is very good, it won't disappoint silly orientalists in the audience with bindis and dupatas but won't either satisfy scholars... still you get the feeling the producers wanted to get enlighted when they did it, but they couldn't bear the sad reality of what India is.
