that's our headlines for now. we're back soon with more. in the meantime, find as a lot of the w. com are also on youtube or the deeds of the news channel. i've seen there's an invalid. thanks for watching the on the long voyage through the ocean. another how well with the cost for a long time they had to be a humans on the journey. now the trenches have become very protective of whales until the results of the ocean conservation start september full dw. but on a see, india is holy city. the use of hindus believe whoever dies here will be

saved so much for us staff as a celebration here i meet people who make a living from dying lots of another game. before i dreamed of studying, i'm leading a better life. it's not having to do this job for those sites in the and honestly i'm pushed to my limits the but i also meet people with incredible strength. i've never really afraid the, and i learned that dying doesn't have to be a terrible thing. the problem should make that the,

the a few years ago i lost my mother. it took me quite some time to process her desk. i was offering extremely sad. it said that here in this hospice in but honestly, death is approached very differently. it's known as the by one house of salvation. the only country to be is a priest you at the by one the he begins

these rituals early in the morning. the usually the priests would carry them out in private. an exception has been made for me to be present. while the applies wholly ash to a stone through the process, the stone becomes the symbol of a hindu. god. yeah, but the people who come to us are seeking salvation. guests believe that if they die in toronto, see they can escape the cycle every turn to reverse. we accompany them by playing songs. i'm giving them basel die and water from the countries so on. if i make an image that, can you explain to me again, the main route woods of multi bought on and why you have these was funded? i mean, is it ended up? how do i get to people who come to us have 15 days to die? and observe that only those seeking salivation should come here. so i know wants to

stay here for free accommodation. for months, no minutes. the only i am here is salvation that he's actually on a most security at the most about anybody but some of the 15 days to die. to me, that sounds almost stressful. like having a clock ticking for your final brands, but devout induce, don't seem bothered by it. the are all 10 rooms full sometimes. huh. for the system. yes, of course. sometimes all the rooms are occupied with some of september or october. all the rooms were really full. the yeah. hey, so this is the room. yeah. who room has met the car? yes, exactly. this is it just that we have 2 beds,

talk to one for the person seeking salvation. and one for the person accompanying them. sometimes more family members come up now, then we laughed mattresses on the floor. and what were your most hearted at their own? was the 18 but with the votes, that's the room only costs $0.20 a night. why is it so cheap? abuse to pay a saturday or miss repair to the new job. people basically stay here for free. we only charge $0.20. so that's not too much electricity is used for the heard that the necessary and the low amount is also to remind them they shouldn't stay here with us. and definitely the room is really just meant for moving into sufficient or not. it, should it be so good about the hectic for me? so, you know, kind of the, to me, it seems rather sparse, almost stereo,

the contents in india for many, it's the best thing to die right here in a completely unfamiliar environment without any comfort, some for the future. i'll meet another person whose final wish is to die and thought honestly, it's an encounter that will touch me deeply. the core, devout hindus thought honestly, is a very special city. it's here that one of their principal deities, she is said to reside the india as longest river also flows through here the ganges for many, he induced it's the physical manifestation of the goddess gund. it's believe that

the eating and again, cheese can help wash away all sins. the building this is to are said to be cured with just one sip of the holy water. the i'm bobby also believes in the power of the river for over 50 years. he's been growing on the ganges. i'm gonna say hello, how are you? yeah, hi there. very well. uh huh. how come i'm carol? what's your name? my name is ron bonnie, that i'm not modeling oliver. ron rom is a god, probably stands for the monkey guard the monkey room. he is an especially powerful god or

somebody is 73 years old. he spent his whole life in, but honestly he tells me that he owes all his energy and health to the ganges. come pick up here. sometimes drinks the water as well. me. he thought, oh, yes, of course. yes, dick. no, even now this one department. now he's drinking the water. is the water divided under his water? you are totally was. what do you like? the studies have shown how polluted the ganges can be in around us. the water is so toxic that fish can barely survive. here though, the science seems to play a less important role than face the odd

need to get a person must have based in the ganges at least 3 times, like the tended. once off the bus i'll be coming in particular about the 2nd time, the 2nd time off to the wedding. it's understood by it after death. as the gates, the jess is ever present on the ganges, sometimes even with corpses floating in the water, the dripping on the other browser and things like that doesn't bother me until sure. i'll just keep growing body. we've got, it's just a body. the cell has long since left hand toward the cord that made a go. after we die, a bundle that snapped is unlikely auntie. i much. i have the money, but it isn't a surprisingly sober thought. for me. i find it hard to separate the body from the essence of the deceased.

i visit the place where most bodies are cremated in veranda. see the money conic. i've got the smoke, the smell, and what i see over whelmed. the gas is visible everywhere the there's no attempt to hide the burning bodies, organs, or charge limbs the for this man, it's all part of every day life. cremating corpses is patched, cozy,

chilled, high res job the, the status of them was i get a new put but my 33 years old. now when we 1st came here, age 13, they cut the lead. today, parents may be 4 or 5 courses a year upon me, one of that nature, it became more of them. they washed a dad in the country. so you know the look very different tier back then. you know who not. one of the simple did cut their numbers, i basically work all the time and the phone cut. if i don't do the job, who will let me take care of everything points a job, money at the job and they did that knowing what otherwise job monitoring and then they job related that it must be tough. the jacuzzi is a member of the dom cast, one of the lowest in indian society,

the earns about 2 and a half euros for a fire. it takes about 3 hours to burn the body, the they're going to do see that? i suppose it's all routine up. cool. no, it's normal for you. go out there high. we have your habit. yes, i'm used to, but we'd, we still treat the dead if you wouldn't being some, one of them would even talk to them in time and they maybe did. what do you the, the date, patrick goes, he explains to me on to be buried with dignity. during breaks, he gets into the ganges, where the ashes of the deceased are scattered, the

here he looks for valuables. sometimes he gets lucky as he has now finding a chain, the, the dog in the murky, polluted water. you can barely see where he is stepping. the i cut myself with this glass here. best to throw it away. it's hard for me to comprehend the conditions. patrick cozy has to work under and i haven't mence respect for what he does, the

i wonder if he would prefer another job. nicholson to allow me that of course i would like to follow another profession. to work here means a lot to me so much god gave me the opportunity of a new job. i'm gonna take it to the see. otherwise i'll stay here around the hutch cozy has 3 children. it's his wish for them not to have to one day work here at the money kind of car got i'll meet him again in a few days. then he'll tell me, is plans to create a better future for them the at 6 am i receive

a message from the hospice. they wanted me to come as quickly as possible. so gone and looked about one has been empty. i guess i'm just out of here, we just received a call from the owner saying that a person arrived last night from the admins. he wants to die right here in foot on a seat, not enough to stab the on deadlines. besides, they've asked if we want to come and talk to the family. so we're on our way there now. you know, i'm typically it often makes of him the, i have great respect for the chance to meet a dying person and to their family. the some 20 family members are taking care of the elderly man. i'm suddenly

uncertain if we should even be here. we are doing a movie about the best in that and i see and then is it okay if we talk to you, if you like, look how you would deal with a one situation? is that ok for your help with today? i mean, i found the problem, a total of a use be happy to share with people who may be don't know, much about religion and show them how we approach this difficult situation problem . they can learn that they're sick, man is his father in law. his name is shree, low connect to body, he's 82 years old and can only breeze with the help of a ventilator multi. he can't see anymore.

everything is doc this by someplace. it's hard for us very, very much. he is really in a critical condition. countries of the clean up coal family quote, are you happy that you are human but honestly not see me here. not a very happy look. very, very happy because he's blessing is always with us because everybody feels i might have simple math, but we thank you for talking to us in this difficult time. i am here, you know, you came to us and the answer to that is really kind of you really kind of feel like the so much the,

the service is so far. this has been for me the most extreme situation. we have sound he's a mean, it's been the this family, naturally concerned for a family member who is about to die has done the less welcoming us into their circle out of the bias shabby on dealings thoughts in the indian kind of wants to show us how their culture works, how they deal with death, getting the quote to us on sundance. amazing. it's important in the

i ask one of the some to set tundra to body. why it was important enough for the whole family to travel to. but honestly, young, who we used to take you to live with, died you guys have some beaks out today. when my father ties, i can, i want him to die happy. you know, i want to have a family to be that jammed up until now he's been stuck in the attending a cycle every but the pacific dining here in toronto. you should finally break that cycle. the guy put a, not me, do it. so you get, you got to look to again when my mother was about to die of so it's very, very sad. i feel like you people are sad, but also happy at the same time. is that right? i seen the ripped the looks of it to not so i just got them in the sense got them on and up against the on my ass. that is a celebration for us. it's one of the most components of rituals like the boss and

marriage. we celebrate that is or leave so much behind you. so much pain to be open to making him do is indicate that we talk about let being 8400000 different life forms to be on my, on the phone as a human has to be blessed by god to not deluxe only as a human can you a chief salvation to come with the sun, the deep brought up the sun. just know better man. what do you see? any of the sort of the same model that if you missed the chart, because you have to go through the entire cycle again and then i'll probably do little with that i don't. but when did you decide that he would come here to about an see and how did you organize that? the whole family and as i go to ask him the next question, it suddenly goes dark. uh, he's got to stay among his got his nose, a power outage here, which of course is terrible because the ventilator for his father has now stopped in stands for the

1st time, the room grows restless. it seems as if death is become more real, more tangible for the family, the i suspect the family would prefer to be alone for the time being on the banks of the ganges. i need to sell a ron miasca. busy whose families lived in, but on a see for 7 generations. the

g was so close to me. money kind of guy got what kind of people do you mean? do you mean sad people? do you mean people that i happy it that they are relates have passed away here in about and i see what kind of impressions do you get from the people you just have one gun? god forbid of already i've seen many people who have just lost a loved one. come to my 2 shots as though it's often the case of the saddle. cried peter. the little comment of yeah, so if we cut them up, we tied, you might have some struggle with losing their fault them of a life might have some know how the family members of in my love, it just doesn't matter. they, how can you come for these people? do you would try to give them some comfort to your food? 3, a t through talking. how do you do it? yeah, put us out there or not. you know, whatever they put out for them. both the and people tell me about their problems. i

explained to them the gold has given each of us a new set number of days. people are always looking for money or happiness on everything from beth and that is predestined by god. i tell them there's no reason to cry. yeah. they can live happily in peace. it didn't matter. everyone has lost someone they loved at some point. oh yeah, no one has a multiple. yeah, everyone has to go some the a separate point. okay. might i add a new local yeah, on a semi i got the 9 once again i'm made aware that death here isn't necessarily seen is something terrible. i ask him if he's afraid of dying himself. he muttered, i yeah, totally different than the i'm not afraid of best. there's no reason to worry. i'll be afraid mark, but one day i will try to draw the embrace the best to make friends with that is was only one of those. i labeled, you know, the

evenings in, but honestly every day a ceremony to honor the ganges is held on the river bank, the thousands of worshippers gather here. the spiritual significance of the city holds means of many can make a living. here the judge is 9 years old. each day, her mother paints her up as the can do, the chief, the family,

including a 5 year old brother has been homeless for some time. the mazda of the haile, you know, kinda what i mean. i don't have a husband. that's why we live here on the river bank. we came him mainly because of my heart condition. to earn at least a little money. i'll combine your car just we'd like to have a room, but we can't afford it. how did you get the idea of her walking around, dressed as a lot cheaper not to hold the. a lot of people suggested it to me, you know, they told me to have no husband and you need to how to operate action by sidney. your daughter could walk around us, chiva does not need about 500 or 600 yours for the operation up. so that the so we're trying to get the money this way. for example, the, the

contract collects around 500 rupees in one day a little over 5 years or more than again, i feel bad about it, but i can't see any other way. once i have enough money for the operation, i'll stop sending her out once i'm on the year. what does your daughter say? she seems like a happy child. does she sometimes complain? does she understand what she's doing there? and i know she never complains. who's got she does a lot for me, yet. she always tells me i live only a few less. that's why she's collecting money from my operation. the

every afternoon follows the same routine. the after applying makeup congo mean goes with the tourist hoping to bring home as much money as possible by send them gives me money. it will attest, gives me $0.50 and i don't have that much. and i just. * give it to me now. wish for the the stuff that the yeah, the golf show thing will double. that's enough. no, i'm not taking that. take this $0.20. yeah. this over to the,

to the congo has collected just under for yours and know for a little food for her family, but not enough to save for the operation the, the, but i don't feel good about what i'm doing is i'm only doing it from my mother in waco, some people even call me back or last long. i always tell them i'm not the bigger on the day are phone big. mamma them do you sometimes get in dangerous situations or situations that you don't like? what sounds does that sound good? that actually i'm never afraid of what i'm only scared at the thought that my mother might die. i don't want my mother to dine mouse like tell yet.

the admire cottrell strings and i find it terrible that this 9 year old has to deal with death. so early in life, the death and life in the by one, they're close neighbors. a man dies and right next to him, children play the the long side, then the family of 20 also needs to be taken care of the

on you in the okay, the, the honda guy guy that's life is so is the young people come here when the doctor says that there's nothing more they can do well. no final wishes to come to god relax to me. so thank you my one considering that whoever dies here in toronto see, can consider themselves lucky at the outset of georgia. the children of course, don't understand all of this. yeah. but they have no, they don't know what's happening here. a good bye. oh yeah. honey i would say going down design a. so get them on a have, you know, they came with the whole family is up study by to me. so can, as many people come as they like, i'm here to say comes, are going to the other thing, get me a while at least 2 people should a company in the sick person available. in this case, it's 15220104 sometimes 10 or 15 family members come to that that those can hear william, i never say no. i am here. everyone is offered

a roof over there had to be somebody in iowa and most of the the, the dying are blessed. 3 times a day. park of the ritual includes drinking a drop of the ganges holy water. the, the the family sees mainly the good for the relative do a in fugette to do, hey, is let me go to the bottom. ok. i used to come as it comes and noticed that will be

no rebuff about it cuz he wasn't even though i there was so much pain. you meet people then paul way hop on and he was there was so much suffering. so many illnesses look at another attack and brought to see millions freedom from all that's within. it sends out the ultimate freedom, diseases a you see this, see it is this optimal see here, how much responsibility do you hear as a son right now in this situation, that can lead to this? will you pick out the well being a father is a big thing. i will have to worry about to what i did. it could never be enough. but that can be, this can use, the lender wants to play a 9. even if i gave my own skin for him, i'll never be able to replace my father. it's going to be, i can never repay what he's done for me will never be. i'm so causing him jumble through you guys. let me try to explain this to the children that a little it's an evening we pray and talk with each of the issue. i don't, but that's the, the 100 and i don't

a reliable not to go the staff a every well, it's the i noticed the family sadness that they will soon lose a loved one year. at the same time, they're happy and grateful that they are fulfilled. his last wish that he's able to die here, invalid, and i see the on the banks of the ganges, touched cozy works late into the evening. the bodies are burned here around the clock. it's a job the 33 year old and never really wanted

lots of another game before you tell, but i got to give me all the trouble i dreamed of studying leading a better life. i was having to do this job here and i have no proper education. so i've had many problems. i've tried different jobs for time delay, got it and nothing really worked out for me. i'm not spending plug or letting the gun living in he does not want his 3 children to one day have to risk their own health and the smoke component courtesy where you near the window when my children have completed their education bargain essentially years for instance, they have a completely different future ahead of the people pick and choose other professions . who by john it hurts to see the people who have ended up here. don't be money. it means only those who are blessed get better jobs nowadays. she didn't know. i

didn't know lots, i knew they don't see the don't meaning that he wants his children to leave the dream that was denied to him. a something that is a lot, i guess while i look at my dream is for them to get an education. so i'm going to become better people who don't have good circle of friends if i can support their dreams with a lot of do something, i'll do everything i can to make it happen for the it's just after 5 am. it's and typically quiet in the by one, the

scientists amongst all the man just passed away 2 minutes and i feel incredibly sorry for the family i to low because at the same time the media, i believe the family is glad it's over. now since for bias on the and that he will hopefully find salvation here in for on i see you're losing that has. c c c the, the, the present given the,

i'm happy for him to push you to the everything for assembly. right? until the last moment to out of i know his family must let go, which getting they brought him here to for honestly knowing this would be the last station of his life flashing them with the policy at the hold up. and then you'll be an investor instead of a negative daddy getting a hunch that the family will gather everything that's needed for the burning of the body. then down carry the body from here to the banks, up the guns you speak to, they're going to be decorated with one thing burned on them that's, that's kind of got the, the everything has to move quickly. now,

the soul is to be freed from the dead body while the men show to the physical weight, the women stay behind. they're not permitted to participate in the funeral ceremony . the start of the inside, you know, they're carrying him through the streets of around etc. for everyone to see, not even a spaces covered to meet. it's very strange. of course it is for everyone else around us. it's completely normal. i live in the home. and so tired of my relatives carried the deceased man's possessions with them. his belongings will be

given away. it would bring bad luck to keep them in the family after his death. the arrival at the banks of the ganges where the deceased is to be burned. in the moment of grief, fixed rituals provide support. before the funeral,

the eldest son of the family has his head shaved, a way to pay respect to his father. in the meantime, firewood for the funeral pyre needs to be organized. it costs about 100 year owes for the $400.00 kilos needed the family places the relative onto the woods themselves. then finally, the fire is ignited the. 2 man, the eldest son touches his father's go 3 times, a symbolic gesture, the scarlet suppose to break open, releasing the soul each

time for the farewells, the i think of the family. what must be going through their minds during the fire for them a 13 day period of morning now begins the

i was invalid on a c for 3 weeks. it was the most intense shoot over my life. it was a period in which i felt sad, thoughtful, and at the same time, happy as the sound is often called him. but now when i arrived, i thought to myself, how could anyone want to die here in this crowded, noisy place with the smell of burned bodies in the air everywhere. when get something for me now i've at least just some extent developed an understanding of it. a few minutes i've learned why people have a more positive approach to death and pulled this shoot has also changed me personally that i've noticed that my fear of dealing with death has fallen away more and more in depth in a way is part of life. a gland, i find that oh, really beautiful and reassuring sergeant switching i'm vaguely shown on the off the waiting ended on the
