a stock reversal from his stands during his 1st term next on dw how documentary takes you to learn. i see, and he is whole. the city of the day i'm big because all the we are all set. we are watching close to the to bring you the story behind the new will on about come by as information for free might say due to then good news on, on. i see india is holy city. the use of hindus believe whoever

dies here will be saved so much for us. that's the 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 those sites in 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 terrible thing. should make that and

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 the seat depth is approached very differently. it's known as the buy one house of salvation. the country is a priest you at about one. the begins

is 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 only as 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 return and 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 by on and why you have these woods? and this is the new ended up. how do i get for people who come to us have 15 days to die? only those seeking salivation should come here decided 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 by some of the 15 days to die? to me that sounds almost stressful. like having a clock ticking for your final brents. 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 from top to bottom,

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 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? on this side of the question and yet are missing. people basically stay here for free. we only charge $0.20, so that's not too much. electricity is used to be hurt to that, that'd be necessary to the low amount as 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 the that the heck there for me. so, you know, kind of the, to me it seems rather sparse, almost stare. i news on thoughts. and yet

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 fantasy. 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 long as the 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

and again jesus can help wash away all sins. the film this is to are said to be cured with just one sip of the holy water. the run by the 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 out here. what's your name? my name is ron bonnie, that i'm not modeling oliver. ron rom is a god. body stands for the monkey guard. the monkey room is an especially powerful god that all

a 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 department, now he's drinking the water. is the water under his water? what do you watch? holy water. what do you like? the 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

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. park big about the 2nd day of the 2nd time off to the wedding. it's under the fire 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 with that. it's just a body. the soul has long since left it towards the middle. go. after we die here, your bottle that snapped is unlikely. auntie i money, i get 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, environment see the money kind of got the smoke, the smell, and what i see over whelmed me, the gas is visible everywhere the there's no attempt to hide the burning bodies organs or charged limbs. the for this man, it's all part of everyday life. cremating corpses is patrick cozy,

chilled harvey's job. the a. status has been moved. i get a new put but the 33 years old now side when i 1st came here, aged 13, they cut the leap today, burns may be 4 or 5 corpses a year upon me. while i later it became more to me. i washed a dad in the country so you know, did look very different here, but then the who not one of the simple did but 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 of job money or the job and they did that knowing what otherwise no money and then they job and they did 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 and no upcoming. 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 dentist, you wouldn't being some, one of them would even talk to them in town and they maybe did. what do you, the, the date patch goes, he explains to me, ought 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 for the dog 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, patch 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 will. of course, we'd like to follow another profession. the work here means a lot to me. that was my god gave me the opportunity of a new job and i would take it. otherwise i'll stay here and see why minute patrick goes, he has 3 children. it's his wish for them not to have to one day work here at the money county car got i'll meet him again in a few days. then he'll tell me, use 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 admin z. want to die right here in front. honestly. not enough to stay on the on dental supplies. 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 in hosting. they talked him the, i have great respect for the chance to meet a dying person and their family, the some 20 family members are taking care of the elderly man. i'm suddenly and

certainly 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 okay for your help with today? i'm a, i found a problem and tony we're 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 their sick man is his father in law. his name is shree, low cannot to body he's 82 years old and can only breeze with the help of a ventilator. he can't see anymore.

everything is doc. this lesson plans. it's hard for us very, very little of he is really in a critical condition. parties of the cool family quote, are you happy that yours? you invite? honestly not see me here. not a very happy little very, very happy to be called to do. his 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 i'm so new that is really kind of you 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 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 m. b a and e and kind of wants to show us how their culture works, how they deal with death, give the quote to us on. so near the museum, it's in total indian the

i ask one of his son to tundra to body. why it was important enough for the whole family to travel to about honestly young, who we used to take your life with died. you guys have somebody except the day 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 attendant inside delivery. but the pacific dining here in toronto. so you should finally break that . so when i called the guy put a, not me to ask you to go to, to look to when my mother was about to die of codes. 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 how to produce 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 on what's behind it. so much pain to be open to making him do is indicate that they talk about that being 8400000 different life forms to be on my, on the phone as a human is to be blessed by god. joe, not the lucky only as a human. can you a chief salvation to come with the government? the brought up the subject betterments. assuming that the sort of the must have modeled the 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 know. when did you decide that he would come here to about enough? see, and how did you organize that the whole assembly, and as i go to ask him the next question, it suddenly goes dark. renata. 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

but i'm g was so close to me. money kind of guy 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 of passed away here in about and 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 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 father them of oh, i might have saw 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 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 or happiness and everything that i have from birth and death is predestined by god. i tell them there's no reason to cry. yeah, they can live happily in peace isn't, but everyone has lost someone they loved at some point. no one is immortal. yeah, everyone has to go some the a separate point. okay. might i add it? i never really agree. i add 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, you know, 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. it's best to make friends, right? that is what's on. 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 of many can make of living here. the job is 9 years old. each day her mother being threw 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. when i give you guys to n, at least a little money off the line, your call, i guess 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 operation 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 condo. it collects around $500.00 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 you. what does your daughter say? she seems like a happy child that she sometimes complain. does she understand what she's doing there? naples? 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 give me $0.50 remaining. but on top of that much and i just. * give it to me now. wish for the the stuff that the the yeah, the golf show. i think that's enough. i know. 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, like when people even call me back or i always tell them i'm not the bigger on the day are 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 to dine mild

selection 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 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 who likes 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 no, they don't know what's happening here. a good bye. 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 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 15220140, sometimes 10 or 15 family members come that that those can you avoid them?

i never say now i am here. everyone is offered a roof over there. had to be somebody else with 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 over to the nissan that the ultimate freedom diseases a you see this, see it is this optimal. see how my pre sponsibility, do you hear as a son right now in this situation, that can lead to this? will you pick out the well being or father is a big thing. i will have to worry about the whole idea that could never be enough. but that can be, this, can you see but no i can play a 9. and even if like i have my own skin fan, i'll never be able to replace my father. it's gonna be like a middle repay, well, he's done for me, will never be. i'm so causing it. hum chombo, or would 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 where live on long 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 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 the trouble i dreamed of studying leading a better life. i was having to do this job here and i have no proper education. i've had many problems. i've tried different jobs, the time delay 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 bodily courtesy or the engineer 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 seem to jump in and he wants his children to leave the dream that was denied to him a something either lot. i got a look at my dream is for them to get an education, so i'm going to become better people. i 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 quite in the by one the

sinus. 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'll notice on what has. c c the the,

the present given the cannot be for him to push you to the everything for assembly . right? until the last moment to out of it. now his family must let go, which getting they brought him here to for honestly knowing this would be the last station of his life by seeing them looking with the policy at 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 they'll carry the body from here to the banks, up the guns you speak to, they're going to be decorated with one thing burned, gutted, 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 meet. it's very strange, of course it is for everyone else around us. it's completely normal. now let me in 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 for the family places the relative onto the wood themselves. then finally, the fire is ignited. 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 searching 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 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 time. 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 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 deeply shown on the off the wing. then the down, the
