The river is an entity, it’s more than what it looks like in a textbook, is one description of the Ganga from director Shridhar Sudhir who walked a part of the river’s 3,000-km length along with activist and IITian, Siddharth Agarwal. Their documentary film Moving Upstream: Ganga follows the journey of Agarwal as he traverses the banks of the river on foot, interacting with the communities living near it.
