the, the, the innovation, green, the green revolution global. so listen to a whole lot of crime. it's probably up to speed if the carriers subscribe to the subscribe to plan, it's a good news, but honestly,

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 young people you dreamed of studying. i'm leading a better life. it's not having to do this job for us. i mean, but honestly i'm pushed to my limits the but i also meet people with incredible strength. i'm never really afraid the and i learned that dying doesn't have to be a terrible thing. the questions should make sense that

the a few years ago i lost my mother. it took me quite some time to process or death. 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 buy one house of salvation. the probably going to be is a priest year 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 ashed was 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 and are honestly they can escape the cycle of return and reverse. we accompany them by playing songs. i'm giving them basel die and water from the countries so long to come to get him is that, can you explain to me again, the main route woods of multi by on and why you have these woods? and i mean, is the name that up? how do i get people who come to us have team days to die?

that as long as those seeking salivation should come here so that no one should stay here for free accommodation, or for months, no minutes. the only i am here is salvation that he's actually on a most can you help him much about anybody? but as i noticed the 15 days to die. to me, that sounds almost stressful. like having a clock ticking for your final brands. but devout hindus 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. you don't have the cup. yes,

exactly. this is that we have 2 beds, 2, but 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 was your most profit? at their own was about the 18, but with the votes, that's the room only costs $0.20 a night. why is it so cheap? i missed the bed. the side of the question is that are missing. people basically stay here for free. we only charge $0.20 so that not too much electricity is used for the hurt to the the necessary. 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 salvation. it should it be so going back to the other factor 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 dine, but 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's longest river. also flows through here, the ganges for many hindus, it's the physical manifestation of the goddess congo. it's believed that the eating

in the ganges 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 a say hello, how are you? yeah. how they're both very well and uh huh. how come i'm carol? what's your name? my name is ron bonnie, that i'm not modeling oliver rom, rom is a god. body stands for the monkey guard. the monkey room is an especially powerful

on the run by the 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 and you sometimes drink the water as well. me. he thought, oh yes, of course. yes, dick know, even now this one now he's drinking the water is the water under his water. you are the only one who studies have shown how polluted the ganges can be and 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

i'm, you know, got a person must have based in the ganges at least 3 times, like the kindred. once off the bus, i'll be coming. for the 2nd day of the 2nd time off to the wedding and i'm just the it after dad as the dates the jeff is ever present on the ganges. sometimes even with corpses floating in the water, the dripping on the bottle and things like that. don't bother me until sure. i'll just keep rolling muddy with that, it's just a body. the soul has long since left the cord that made a go. after we die here, your bottle that snapped is unlikely auntie. i must get the money by using a surprisingly silver 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, overwhelms me. 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 everyday life. of cremating corpses is patrick cozy,

chilled, high res job the inside of the get a new put flags. the 33 years olds now side by the time they 1st came here aged about 13, they cut the lead today. parents may be 4 or 5 corpses a year upon me while it later became more of them. they washed a dad in the country. so you know, they look very different tier back then, you know who the simple net correct they're not, but basically work all the time that the phone cut in. if i don't do the job, who will let me take care of everything? 20 job money at the job and they did die knowing what otherwise job monitoring of the new 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 still treat the data, see wouldn't being some, one of them would even talk to them in time and they may, we 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 distinct star scattered the

here he looks for valuables. sometimes he gets lucky as he has now finding a chain. 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. but 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 though my god gave me the opportunity of a new job. i would take it otherwise i'll stay here because he has 3 children. it's his wish for them not to have to one day work here at the money konica 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. uh, something to get out of it. we just received call from the owner saying that a person arrived last night from the admins. he wants to die right here in front on the seat. not enough to stay on the on the fact that 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

. 7 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 them. 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 cannot t body. he's 82 years old and can only breeds with the help of a ventilator. he can't see anymore.

everything is doc this but some place it's hard for us very, very much. he is really in a critical condition. countries of that we can the whole family quote, are you happy that yours? you invite? honestly not see me here. not a very happy little very, very happy because he's blessing is always with us because the simple but low. but we thank you for talking to us in this difficult time. i am here, you know, you came to us and the uncertainty that is really kind of you really kind of feel like this so much the,

the service is so far. this has been for me, the most extreme situation. we have sound he's the media to him. 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 and how they deal with death getting the quote to us on sundance. amazing. with them told indian the

i ask one of the sons set tundra to body. why it was important enough for the whole a family to travel to bad. honestly. young who were you to take you to a light but died? you guys have somebody except today when my father dies, i am wanting to die happy. you know, i want to have a family to be that the job. and so now he's been stuck in the attending a cycle every but the pacific dining here in toronto. you should finally break that cycle. we die, put a not door to us. you get, you got to look to again, when my mother was about to die of health. 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 it's kind of make sense. got them on

and up, but it's the only yes, 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 the can him do is indicate that we talk about let being 8400000 different life forms to be on my own as a human is to be blessed by god only as a human. can you a chief salvation to come with the sun? the deep brought up the subject? you'll betterments while 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 they have that, i'll probably do that. but i don't, they're not in that you. when did you decide that he would come here to about and see, and how did you organize that the whole assembly? and as i go to ask him the next question, it suddenly goes dark. it'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 and 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 here. there's 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 cry. pete at the low comedy as if we cut them up. we tied, you might have some struggle with losing their fault on them of our life and let us 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, but us out on zillow, whatever they put it,

i remember the 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, your happiness. everything from birth and death is predestined by god. no, i tell them there's no reason to cry. yeah. they can live happily in peace isn't what everyone has lost someone they loved at some point. oh yeah, that one. is it multiple? yes, everyone has to go some the a separate point. okay. might i add? i never really agree. i am a semi i got the 9 once again i made aware that death here isn't necessarily seen is something terrible. i ask him if he's afraid of dying himself, he doesn't live in my lie. yeah. it's always gotten to the i'm not afraid of death . there's no reason to worry, i'll be afraid mark, but one day i will try to draw the brace. it's best to make friends with that as well. some, even on those i label, you know,

with 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 job is 9 years old. each day, her mother paints grew up as the into the chief,

the family, including a 5 year old brother, has been homeless for some time. the mazda of the haile, you know, kind of 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 en at least a little money off the line. you just would 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? mazda, of all the, the lots of people suggested it to me, you know, i know they told me to have no husband, and you need to how to operation by simply, 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. and 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? naples? i know she never complains who's got a she does a lot for me yet. she always tells me i live only a few lives. that's why she's collecting money from my operation.

the every afternoon follows the same routine. the after applying makeup con john mean goes with the tourist hoping to bring home as much money as possible by send me money and i will attach but just gives me $0.50 but don't have that much. and i just. * give it to me. now let me ask for the the stuff that the yeah, the golf show if i woke up, oh, 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. i'm only doing it from my mother in quite 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? let them says that i'm 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 malfunction yet. the i admired casual strength 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 alongside them. the family of 20 also needs to be taken care of the

on human. the ok, the be great. honda got a guy that's life is so is that 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. goodness, we're thinking about one considering that whoever dies here in toronto see, can consider themselves lucky. i've been outside 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 go with john vane a. so get him on a have, you know, they came with the whole family is probably my to me. and so can, as many people come as they like, i'm ok to say comes, are going to the other thing, get me a while at least 2 people should accompany the sick person available. in this case, it's 15 to 20 headed for sometimes 10 or 15 family members come i that,

that those can hear william. i never say now 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 up in the future to do, hey,

is let me go to the bottom. ok. i used to come as it comes here and noticed that will be no rebuff about it cuz he wasn't, even though there was so much pain. you meet people then paul lay upon and he was us. there was so much suffering. so many illnesses look at the fact 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 how much responsibility do you hear as a son right now in this situation that can lead to this. so you put that 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. and 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 to me will never be. i'm so cousin and hum, jumbled 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 a lease, a lot of them,

but that's the hunger hand that we're live on. know we're going to use that for 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 or on the banks of the ganges punched cosy works late into the evening. the bodies are burned here around the clock.

it's a job the 33 year old. never really wanted lots of another game before you tell, but i got to give me an audit problem. i dream of studying leading a better life. i was having to do this job here for august. i have no proper education. so i've had many problems. i've tried different jobs for time delay. got it, nothing really worked out for me. i'm not spending towards the end. 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 by google, as engineers, for instance, they have a completely different future ahead of the people. they can choose other professions who by john,

it hurts to see the people who have ended up here don't be money. it means that those who are blessed get better jobs nowadays. she didn't know. i didn't know lots . i knew that obviously the don't mean that he wants his children to leave the dream that was denied to him. a something i the 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 or it's just after 5 am. it's on 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 death and that he will hopefully find salvation here in veronica scenes. yet, news on the has. c c 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 like go there with getting they brought him here to for honestly knowing this would be the last station of his life flashing and looking with the policy at the hold up. and that will be an investment spot of integrated daddy getting on to the family will gather everything that's needed for the burning of the body. then down carried the body from here to the banks, up the guns you submit till they're going to be decorated month and burned. got it up on them. that's. that's got a good thing. 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 insider now they're carrying him through the streets of around and see for everyone to see not even a spaces covered to meet. it's very strange, of course is for everyone else around us. it's completely normal. and sometimes a lot of

the 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 euros, but the 400 kilos needed the family places the relative onto the woods themselves. then finally, the fire is ignited. man, the eldest son touches his father's go, 3 times, a symbolic gesture. the scarlet supposed to break open, releasing the soul each

time for the farewell, 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 of my life. it was a period in which i felt sad. thoughtful and at the same time, happy as the sound is often call me, 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. now i've, at least to some extent developed an understanding of the men's. 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 as part of life. i find that a really beautiful and reassuring thought isn't switching. i'm vaguely certain on
