In this three-part series for BBC One, Sue will explore the lives of the people living close the river and the challenges facing India as it transforms into one the world's great economic powers. The Ganges is the story of modern India in one spectacular river. Sue Perkins follows her journeys up the Mekong and through Kolkata with an epic travel series down the length of the Ganges, which is worshipped by Hindus as a living Goddess. Sue will travel from the sacred source of the river, high in the Himalayas, through the industrial and agricultural heartlands of the Gangetic Plain and the ancient city of Varanasi, to the vast delta on the Bay of Bengal. She will join pilgrims seeking to wash clean the sins of alifetime at the Ganges' source work alongside fishermen and farmers in the Sunderbarns, who share their forests with man-eating tigers and join some of the thousands of young women leaving rural villages and moving to the cities to find work and freedom. Sue says: 「I've travelled the length of the Ganges, from the oxygen-starved peaks of the Himalayas to the vast delta in West Bengal, meeting a huge array of characters on the way. Expect cows on bridges, India's Most Energetic Monk, and me, in a dress. I can't wait for you to see it.」
主演们的表演自然流畅，将角色的内心世界演绎得淋漓尽致。
经典永不过时，每一帧都是青春记忆的闪回
这是一部经得起时间考验的作品，每次观看都能发现新的细节和感悟。
影片所探讨的主题具有一定的潜力，但可惜没有得到深入的挖掘和展开。
认真看完后，本来以为与苏·帕金斯一起畅游恒河会很普通，结果看着看着还真有点意思，至少不是那种一眼劝退的类型。
