Delhi
The Ganges River is considered one of the holiest rivers in the world. At 2510 km long draws from the Western Himalaya's in Northern India, flowing southeast to Bangladesh where it drains into the Indian Ocean.

Episode 2 • Jul 21, 2012
Yamuna
The Yamuna is the largest tributary river of the Ganges in Northern India. Unfortunately the Yamuna is also one of the most polluted rivers in the world. New Delhi, the capital of India, dumps more than 50% of its waste into the river, which remains stagnant for nine months of the year. Millions of people depend on the polluted Yamuna water.
Episode 3 • Jul 28, 2012
Agra

Episode 4 • Aug 04, 2012
Holi
The Taj Mahal lies on the bank of the Yamuna river in the city of Agra. While Agra is probably best known for the Taj and other historical buildings from the same era, it is also renown for its handy crafts, marble and stone inlay work and its sweets. The leather industry is also among the most traditional and original industries of Agra.
Episode 5 • Aug 11, 2012
Allahabad
With over 1.18 billion people, India houses roughly one sixth of the world's population. Unfortunately, it's estimated that over 400 million Indians now live under the global poverty line of one dollar and twenty-five cents per day. High population growth rates and ineffective food management have resulted in fluctuating levels of famine.
Episode 6 • Aug 18, 2012
Varanasi
In India the summer season begins in early March and lasts until late June. Much of Indian life during the summer is spent indoors and out of the sun. Daytime work is often abandoned between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Even so, the extreme heat claims thousands of lives each year. Even those acclimatized to such conditions are not immune to the power of the sun.
Episode 7 • Aug 25, 2012
Nepal
For Hindus, there is no city holier than Varanasi, also known as Benares or Kashi, it is located on the banks of the Ganges in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh. Established over 3,000 years ago, it is one of the oldest cities in India. Hindus believe that dousing one's self in the holy waters of the Ganga is the only true way to cleanse the soul of sin.
Episode 8 • Sep 01, 2012
Monsoon
The monsoon season typically arrives in June and lasts until September. The season is marked by an intense initial downpour that lasts for days, followed by a pattern of heavy rain for several hours each day. Temperatures remain fairly high during this period. Flooding is a common occurrence in many Indian cities, as inadequate drainage systems struggle to cope with the large volume of water.
Episode 9 • Sep 08, 2012
Bihar
With a population of over 100 million, Bihar is India's third most populous state. In ancient times, the area was considered the country's centre of power, learning, and culture. Today, slow economic development has led Bihar to becoming India's poorest state. The state has a reputation for crime and inter-caste violence. Foreigners are warned to exercise extreme caution while traveling in Bihar.
Episode 10 • Sep 15, 2012
Farakka Barrage
In traditional Indian culture, social status is defined by the caste system. It is a strict hierarchy that assigns social standing based on hereditary descendants. Under this system Indians are literally born into their social status. Modern India has done much to combat caste-based discrimination, but in rural areas it is still very much a visible part of life.
Episode 11 • Sep 22, 2012
Bangladesh
The state of West Bengal is situated on the eastern bottleneck of India. The Ganges River divides in into the Hooghly River in West Bengal and the Padma River flowing southeast into Bangladesh. Calcutta is considered the cultural capital of India and the birthplace of modern Indian literature and art. West Bengal shares much of its cultural heritage with the neighboring Bangladesh.
Episode 12 • Sep 29, 2012
Dhaka
Considered to be the most densely populated country in the world, Bangladesh is situated on large, low-lying river deltas, flowing from the Himalayas into the Bay of Bengal. The Ganges delta, known as the Padma, joins two other rivers before finally filtering out into the ocean. With low elevations, Bangladesh is subject to severe flooding and is now recognized as vulnerable to climate change

CRIES FROM SYRIA is a searing, comprehensive account of a brutal five-year conflict from the inside out, drawing on hundreds of hours of war footage from Syrian activists and citizen journalists, as well as testimony from child protesters, leaders of the revolution, human rights defenders, ordinary citizens, and high-ranking army generals who defected from the government. Their collective stories are a cry for attention and help from a world that little understands their reality or agrees on what to do about it. A documentary by Evgeny Afineevsky, director of the Oscar-nominated film WINTER ON FIRE, CRIES FROM SYRIA premiered at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival.
