This documentary film and the walk along River Ganga was made possible by partners who supported their work, contributions of 100s of friends and strangers in their 2 crowdfunding campaigns, the support of their many mentors who freely shared their knowledge and allowed access to their networks, and most of all the riparian community of River Ganga who shared with us their stories, and provided food, shelter and warmth without hesitation.
