Editorial Reviews: Filmed in stunning high definition and coming to DVD, HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc, Ganges is a sumptuous series that tells the story of the most extraordinary river in the world. The Ganges runs through the heart of India. For millions of Hindus it is India’s sacred river, but they share its banks and waters with a rich variety of wildlife. In a kaleidoscope of color and energy, this amazing series reveals how the Ganges has shaped the wildlife, culture and beliefs of India. The journey begins at the source of the river, high in the cold peaks of the Himalayas. It heads down past tigers, otters, peacocks and wild herds of elephants before reaching Varanasi, one of the oldest and most sacred cities in the world. Arriving at the delta, where the Ganges meets the sea, modern cities such as Calcutta join with the ancient swamps of the Sunderbans. This amazingly diverse wetland, rarely filmed before, is home to giant lizards, man-eating crocodiles and forests full of monkeys. Here the tiger is still king, and man is on the menu.

Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Another fabulous BBC Blu-ray title Comment: The BBC does an amazing job with all of their titles: Ganges, Galapagos, Wild China, etc. The photography is amazing and the storyline keeps you interested. These are also the best movies to showcase a really big screen. My daughter is in 4th grade and these titles are all compelling to her (as well as her parents). The Ganges originates in the Himalayas, so some of the movie takes place in northern India (near Tibet). It travels through the harshest deserts in the world and eventually makes its way to one of the most densly populated regions of the world. The contrasts are amazing. This movie is well worth the price. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Scenery Comment: The Scenery is wonderful but not as good as Planet Earth. The picture quality is more like 720p. Customer Rating: Summary: A journey you will not soon forget. Comment: Take a virtual trip from the comfort of your living room via this entertaining and educational blu-ray movie. The photography is wonderful, the narration is engaging and you feel like you are on a personal guided tour. It's the best thing next to visiting the Ganges. It's a great movie to showcase the attributes of your High Definition 1080P television and Blu-Ray movie player. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent compilation...Should be part of your collection if you like India Comment: This is one of the finest Video I had in my collection. It is one of the favorite because of the excellent coverage of the Holy River Ganga and the life around it. I especially like the high quality of the Video and the way it is being captured. The compilation is excellent. It was of great excitement to me to find the narration in Bengali. Cheers to BBC for such a wonderful compilation. I have nothing negative to say on this Video. Customer Rating: Summary: Amazing PQ on this one Comment: This has the best PQ of any Blu-ray documentary I have seen yet. Thank you BBC. More Reviews
