the, the new motto song that i'm going to expand it to you in berlin, thanks so much for watching me back again. what? 5 minutes from now? the can you see what old cars have to do with the production? here's a hands on the really indeed the snow on youtube. the on on i see india is holy city.

the use of hindus believe whoever dies here will be saved so much for us. as a celebration. here i meet people who make a living from dying. lots of another game before you i 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've never really afraid the and i learned that dying doesn't have to be a terror. both things 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 on i see death is approached very differently. it's known as a monkey by one house of salvation. the country is a priest year at the by one. 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 hymn. do 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 returning reverse. we accompany them by playing songs . i'm giving them basel die and water from the kanji. so on, if i make an image i can you explain to me again the main route, woods of multi button and why you have these woods? and this is the name that up. how do i get people will come to us for 15 days to

die and observe that only those seeking salvation should come here so that no one should stay here for free accommodation for months? no man, that's the only i am here is salvation that he's actually on a most. can you help him much about anybody? but as i was looking at 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. okay, 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 laugh mattresses on the floor. and what were you? 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? i'm used to pay a saturday, which means that are missing. people basically stay here for free. we only charge $0.20 so that not too much electricity is used to be heard that the necessary and the low amount is also to remind them they shouldn't stay here with us. and definitely is that the room is really just meant for moving into. so the patient is the so the, for me, so you know, kind of the,

the, to me it seems rather spars almost stereo, the on tops and yet for many it's the best thing to die right here. and it completely unfamiliar environment without any comfort, some for the future, i'll meet another person who's final wish is to die. and 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 as longest river also flows through here the ganges for many hindus,

it's the physical manifestation of the goddess gund. 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 one 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. how they're both very well and that's how i've come down here. 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. god, the monkey room he got. isn't this especially powerful god, uh,

the run by the is 73 years old. he spent his whole life in but honestly the 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 department, now he's drinking the water. is the water under his water? the water? well, you are totally was the 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 you 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 tended. once off the bus, i'll be coming for the 2nd day of the 2nd time off to the wedding. i'm just tired of to death as the gates, the jess is ever present on the ganges. sometimes even with corpses floating in the water, the gonna get to me i get tripped on the bottle and things like that doesn't bother me until sure. i'll just keep rolling body. we've got it's just a body. the soul has long since left the cord that made it go. after we die here, your bottle that snapped is a lifeless bounty. i money, i have the money, but it isn't 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 kind of 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 for charged limbs. the

for this man, it's all part of everyday life. cremating corpses is patrick cozy, chilled high res job. the data outside of them was i get a new put my, my 33 years old now side when we 1st came here, aged 13, they cut the lead today, burns may be 4 or 5 corpses a year upon me. a lot of that nature 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 sampling that they're not, but i 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 points a job near the job and they did die knowing what otherwise job monday and then they job related that it must be tough. a

jacuzzi is a member of the dumb cast. one of the lowest in indian society, the urns 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 habits. yes, i'm used to, but we would, we still treat the data see wouldn't being some, one of them would even talk to them and trying to name a we did what do you the, the date, patrick goes, he explains to me or to be buried with dignity during breaks, he gets into the ganges, where the ashes of the distinct star scattered the

door. here he looks for valuables. sometimes he gets lucky as he has now finding a chain in the murky, polluted water, he can barely see where he is stepping. the i can put myself in 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,

the, the, i wonder if he would prefer another job nicholson to allow me that will. of course, we'd like to follow another profession to work here means a lot to me. my god gave me the opportunity of a new job around this. i would take it otherwise i'll stay here. touched cozy. he has 3 children. it's his wish for them not to have to one day work here at the money connie 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. uh, something to get 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 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 tipsy and often they thought him the i have great respect for the chance to meet a dying person and to their family the

of 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 okay for your help with today? i'm a, i found a problem, a to kind of a use be happy to share with people who may be, don't know much about our 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 you body, he's 82 years old and can only breeze with the help of a ventilator. you can't see anymore.

everything is doc this but someplace it's hard for us baby with a month of he is really in a critical condition. countries of the king of cool family quote, are you happy that you are human but honestly not see me here. not a very happy little very, very happy to be called at your peace blessing is always with us because it why? because i have my 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 this so much all

the 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 and how they deal with death, getting a quote to have someone send me an amazing that's important. in the

i ask one of his sons tundra to body why it was important enough for the whole family to travel to about honestly young, who were you to take you to live with died you guys have somebody excited today. when my father ties, i can, i want to install a happy, you know, i want to have a family to be that jammed up until now he's been stuck in the attendance cycle every but the pacific dining here in toronto. so you should find me frank, that's totally cool. be guy, put a not me join us. you get you got to look to you 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 root, the looks of it as soon as i was caught them in the sense,

got them on and up. it is m i s, that is a celebration for us. it's one of the most components of rituals like for marriage, we celebrate that is at least so much behind you so much pain leaking him doing something good. yeah, they talk about let being 8400000 different life forms to be on my, on the phone as a human has to be blessed by god going off the luck on me as a human. can you a chief salvation to come with the sun? the deep brought up the sun just know betterments, assuming you'd be 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 that. but i know they're not mutual. when did you decide that you would come here to about an 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. stockton

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 whose family is lived in. but on a see for 7 generations the

but i'm g was so close to me, money clinic, i got what kind of people do you need? do you mean sad people? do you mean people that i happy it that they are relates has passed away here in about and see what kind of impression 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 and as it is 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 otherwise 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 through your teeth, through talking? how do you do it?

yeah, but us out though not, you know, whatever the problem was, the people tell me about the 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. 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. no one is immortal. yeah, everyone has to go some to a separate point. okay. might i add a nearby locally? i am 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 in my life. uh yeah, it's always gotten that they're not, 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 embrace that's best to make friends with that as well. some, even on those i label, 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 many can make a living. here. the job is 9 years old. each day, her mother being threw up as they can do the chief,

the family, including a 5 year old brother has been homeless for some time. the eyes of the i need, you know, kinda what i mean. i don't have a husband. that's why we live here on the river bank. so we came him mainly because of my heart condition when i gave you guys to n, 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, a lot of people suggested it to me. i know they told me to have no husband, and you need to how to operation. but certainly 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. so in 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. 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 attach but just gives me $0.50 remaining. but on top of that much it just give it to me now which for the the stuff that the the yeah the call show up. i will double. that's enough. no, i'm not taking that,

take this $0.20. yeah. this over to the, to the a condo 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 quite some people, even call me back or last long. i always tell them i'm not the bigger on the day, our phone, big mamma them do you sometimes get in dangerous situations or situations that you don't like? let them says that i'm going 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 today. mild selection yet. the admire cod y'all 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 along side them. the family of 20 also needs to be taken care of the

on you in the ok the be great. honda got a guy that's life. this was 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 and relax to me. so thank you my one considering that whoever dies here in for honestly, can consider themselves lucky. i've been said go to the children of course, don't understand all of this. yeah. but they have the way, i don't know what's happening here. a good i oh yeah, honey i would say go with zone zine. a focus on monday. 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 ok to say comes, are going to the same domain while at least 2 people should accompany the sick person. i mean, with this case, it's 15220140,

sometimes 10 or 15 family members come i that, that those can hear william. i never say no. i am here. everyone is offered a roof over there. had to be somebody else with in iowa, and most people go to 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 their relative do in fugette to do hey,

is let me go to the bottom. ok. i used to come as it comes here and noticed that there will be no rebuff about it cuz he wasn't, even though i have never so much pain. you meet people then paul, flashing up on me was that there was so much suffering. so many illnesses look at another task and bronesi means freedom from all that to the nissan that 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 will yet, but also well being a father is a big thing. i will have to worry about the whole idea that could never be enough. but that can you, this can you see but no, i can play a 9 even if like i have my own skin fan. i'll never be able to replace my father. it's going to be like a middle repay. what he's done for me will never be. i'm so causing it hum, jumbled through, do i 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 other hand, i don't where live on long to go the staff a every well, it's a i noticed the family sadness that they was to lose a loved one year at the same time. they're happy and grateful that they and fulfilled his last wish that he's able to die here invalid. and i see the on the banks of the ganges, touched 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 account, but i got to give me 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 tried different stones you 4 times and they got it and 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 more lucrative or the engineer window. when my children have completed their education bargain. as engineers, 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 that those who are blessed get better jobs nowadays. she didn't know, i didn't know lots, i knew they don't seem to jump in and he wants his children to leave the dream that was denied to him. there's something that is a lot. 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 the, 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. let's have a 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 veronica scenes, you're losing that has. c c c c the

history present, given the happy for him to push you to the everything for assembly. right? until the last moment to out of it. now, his family must like go there, which getting they brought him here to for honestly knowing this would be the last station of his life fussing. and looking with the cause here, the hold up and then you'll be an investor. instead of going to give you a daddy getting a hunch that the family will gather everything that's needed for the burning of the body, then don't carry the body from here to the banks that the guns you stick to. they're going to be decorated with a month and burned. got it as on the investment side of 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. now they're carrying him through the streets of around and see for everyone to see not even a spaces covered. to me, it's very strange, of course, for everyone else around us. it's completely normal. and so tyler, 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. the man 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 euro for the 400 kilos needed for the family places the relative onto the woods themselves. then finally, the fire is ignited. 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 of 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 called in, but not 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 tell me some. now i've at least just some extent developed an understanding of it to 2 minutes. i've learned why people have a more positive approach to death and for 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
