Following the River Ganges as it journeys across Northern India, this film explores the colourful natural history of the Gangetic Plains. Once a rich wilderness teeming with tigers, lions and cheetahs, the plains have been transformed into the most densely populated place on Earth. Nourished by the sacred river's gift of life, this remarkable region has witnessed the rise of great civilisations and the evolution of the Hindu religion, but how has the wildlife of the plains adapted to survive this increasingly human dominated world?
