The documentary captured my attention and the complex issue of hydro power. Sad to see so much of miseducation, under planning and politically driven decisions have created a havoc on our environment. It was entertaining with Naseeruddin Shah's anecdotes and contrarian quip on the crisis. Overall, Very well made.

This is a exciting film made with lot of enthusiasm and highlighting the work of people who have spent their lives fighting for the environment, such as Himanshu Thakkar. A must watch for both sides of the environment debate. Good work!

This movie highlights the issue of environment, and walks us thru the differenct aspects It's important for everyone of us EVERYONE to play a role to save our planet and help next generations

Kudos to the director and the crew for highlighting the most important issue of times

There are few films which narrate such a complex history in such a joyful and playful way. Sun Ganga successfully manages to explain and dissect many of India's woes, from the complexities of the energy industries in the world's second most populous country, revealing the incredible damage caused by hydropower and coal. The first time I watched this film essentially I was shocked that neo-colonial policies of hydropower in the pursuit of "green" energy was pursued in seismically problematic areas. I literally was confused why the government would allow such destructive policies, knowing that a cataclysmic disaster was not just a question of if but of when. Sun Ganga is a siren call - for us all to wake up to the fact that we cannot outsmart nature. There is an intelligence beyond us all and clever engineering of monsoon level rains and drought every single day in the Ganges is simply not the answer.

The Ganges is more than a water source - it is a a grounding life source, connecting culture, traditions and creating social cohesion.

Suryaganga light-heartedly and subtly shows the skeptic to the environmentalist the need for wiser solutions for energy and how greenwashing can play a problem in an overly tecnified world.

Bravo, Sun Ganges team.

And it does so using a conversation as the basis of the plot. It invites one to view differing social reaction and physical severities to the draining of the rivers of the great range into industrial processes and wastes. Well done!
