Veditum India Foundation is a research and media organisation based in Kolkata, India, working at the intersection of environment, culture, and society. In Sanskrit, ‘Veditum’ means ‘to understand’. Through innovative methods in ground level research, documentation and use of media tools, stories of Indian environment and people are being brought to life. Veditum’s intent is to further amplify these stories, involve young Indians in this process and push for collective action where required.

This documentary, filmed on a 3000km walk along River Ganga by Siddharth Agarwal, is part of Veditum India Foundation’s Moving Upstream project. The walk took place between June 2016 and April 2017, starting from Ganga Sagar in West Bengal and finishing at Gangotri in Uttarakhand.
