- Synopsis:
History, adventure and travelogue combine as Simon Reeve journeys down three of the world's major rivers: the Nile, Yangtze and Ganges. Through the stories of the people who live alongside these great waterways, he uncovers their vast influence, and reveals how they unite, and divide, some of the most extraordinary parts of the world. Tracing the course of each river from source to mouth, this series delves deep into the beliefs and practices that underpin the lives of those living along its banks. Travel from the twin temples of Abu Simbel to the Nile delta; down the Yangtze from the giant Buddha of Leshen to the Three Gorges Dam and on to Shanghai; and along the great mother Ganges in a world caught between ancient traditions and astonishing modernity. Along the way, experience a riot of colour, extraordinary spectacle and unexpected encounters. Full of wonder and breath taking, magisterial landscapes, 'Simon Reeve's Sacred Rivers' is a potent mix of revelation and hands-on adventure. - Actors:
