3:23:57 The River Rhine
4:14:04 The Ancient River Nile
Celebrating the ever-changing nature of our relationship with the Earth’s amazing water systems, Rivers and Life reveals how the cultures and lives of millions of ordinary people are shaped by the magnificent waters they live along.
River-by-river, we explore six of the world’s most iconic watercourses, tracing their routes, their histories and their changing lives: The Amazon, The Nile, The Mississippi, The Ganges, The Yangtze and The Rhine.
We explore the compelling stories of the life that’s lived along their banks, encountering indigenous communities who dwell in harmony with rivers; modern traders, artists and artisans who make their living there; and vast metropolises which - now more than ever - depend on twenty-first century technologies to keep the ancient waters at bay.
Rich in texture and observation, filmed at some of the planet’s most remote and beautiful locations - glacial springs and mystical sources, ferocious rapids and sprawling deltas - each episode is driven by a powerful narrative, derived from the nature of the river itself.

Binge watching it on my phone plugged in. At two hours in and my phone is getting warm. Maybe take a break?
Thanks from INDIA, for creating such a beautiful presentation.
I drove through 5 states listening to this. Was so interesting!
What a great documentary! Very educational and entertaining.
Watched the entire video at once and will do so again. Thank you to everyone that put this presentation together’
Mankind seriously needs to stop polluting and pillaging and start respecting the land, we could learn a lot from the indigenous peoples of their respective lands.
A 5 hour documentary about rivers? Hmm, that’s some streaming.
🥁
i took a d4 of psychic damage
I like your sense of humour.
Watched the whole thing in one go and got nothing done today. Then again it was a perfect day.
😂
I love these well done documentaries so a big thank you to everyone that makes these possible
seen this years ago..would like to see an update to see whats happening now.
Am happy you finally spoke about the nile.
I feel for the people who are struggling with progress. It is not that others are pacing fast, nor is it that they lack ambition.
There are many who just wanna plant foot and live modestly in peace. Unfortunately, wanting for more is set as the modern norm for humanity.
I'm only 40 minutes in or so to this
Toured china in 2001
Been always following what I can about 'it'
Breathtaking documentary so far...
Glad I looked for history ....of 'rivers.
Cant wait to watch the entire thing.
Breathtaking ty
Nature finds a way!
I love these well done documentaries so a big thank you to everyone that makes these possible 😊
INCREDIBLE DOC! I so fear what the future holds on so many levels. I've been to the Brazil's Amazon & India's Ganges at Varanasi & at the cremation Ghats while trying to recover from an earlier stomach viral infection. It's quite an intensely heavy experience. I also pilgrimaged to one source of the IT in the Himalayas to Bradrinath Temple under the snowy peaks often immersed in passing clouds where the cold water runs fast. Worshippers travel weeks across mountains but it's so worth it. The experience can not be described
Repeat this with me “ I don’t chase i I attract, what belongs to me will simply find me". Wishing you the best from Shanthi healing music
Excellent documentary. Very informative.
5 hrs!..My goodness..I'd have to take it in parts..
Just finished watching the first on the Yangzte., excellent production and a well-balanced commentary
That Dam is no longer there.
Settled in for a interesting show, and my night is over
My mother was two years old when the flood of '27 hit New Orleans. I still listen to When The Levee Breaks by Memphis Minnie & Kansas Joe McCoy. That story of Honeyboy was cool. Thanx. New Orleans, also the home of the great Fats Domino. He's gone now, but Blueberry Hill will live on forever. And let's not forget the Neville Bros.

1.4.2022.Very good and best.Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for this amazing 🤩 documentary.
I don’t know when I will finish to see it but certainly I am enjoying to see it so far.🥰
Feel very sad when so drastic repercussions change the original landscape that belongs to the river beds and to the way of people living and surviving.😢
Excellent!!!
thanks for watching! ✨
Very educational where we can learn more from china esp of natural disasters effect by human acts
I had no idea that the Amazon River is un-dammed and un-bridged in its entirety, or that it had more kinds of fish than the entire Atlantic Ocean! That's incredible!!
The longer I live, the more I believe that God never intended for us to live in cities. Villages perhaps, but not cities.
God doesn't have, anything to do, with what we do here, on this planet. The more people you cram on a planet the size of earth, the more complex their existence become, especially with limited resources available.
Wow perfectly said your a Genius
Cities are concrete jungles , full of sounds , pollutions and traffic .. this is not a good time to be born as a human , I prefer to be a blue jays, geese 🪿 or barn swallow or a flamingo 🦩, a migratory species , no air ticket , no passport no taxes and you eat a little and pollute minimum
Spread seeds in bird poop ..
God wanted us to own Condominiums and live in Community...lol
God wants melted cheese and bacon on everything I eat
Free 5 hours quality documentary 👏👏👏
Thanks again
Nice!
I love these rivers documentary
Please, can you show the building of the Great Wall of China? Will of like to see it's construction also.
Thanks
1. Yangtze river in China
2. Amazon river in S. America
3. Ganges river in India
4. Mississippi river in N. America
5. Rhine river in Germany
6. Nile river Africa
Oh, the deepest river is still the Congo River. Also not dammed because of the fast-moving rapids and rocks before Kisingbani
Brammaputra river is more powerful and longer than the ganges in India.
The internet as we used to know it.
I like
5 hours? Nice!
This a very long documentary but it is worth it for students of Geography and History to some extent.
Thank you
“Worth it?” SMH
watching this documentary for 5 days 1 hour a day🙇♂🤣
Makong also greatly polluted because the mills on river to run the wheel that moves another piece of mechanical. engineering.
Omg. FIVE HOURS documentary🤣 okay then. Well done, Tracks...❤😆
the Yangtze is heavy polluted today, even the surrounding land, and the problem with the sediment, a catastrophic situation!!
Nice documentary,on how the people destroy the ecosystem of the river
DAH this was obvious from the moment I was taught geography that affects EVERYTHING
Interesting
China is so fascinating, I hope to go one day. The people of China are exceptional and seem to be good natured people. I don’t agree with the CCP and how they control the people but the energy throughout the country is very vibrant

استغفرالله العضيم عالم يعبدو الحيوانات 😢 هذا يدل على الموحدين بتقصير الدعوه لله.
وثاقه يحزني.. الله يهديهم ا😢😢😢😢
yessss
Deforestation the cause, reforestation the cure. Charcoal for Mecca/barbe is a significant factor; as well as urbanisation and open mining.
Great doc. But Why there are no Mekong River in this one. ☹️
There is one just not here and probably because it's not as disastrous as these are. But there is a really good one I just seen this past week.
2:32:15 It's now 3.20.2022
What has Changed in India in regards to this River and the water resources??
Nothing it's worse
Actively dredging the silt out of the dam and pumping it into the outflow so it can continue its journey downstream would be an opportunity to remove litter and test for pollutants.
I was taught that when you halve the velocity of running water, you cut to 1/8 the amount of sediment that it can carry.
Incidentally, the dam filling up with sediment won't cause the water levels to rise upstream of the dam. The water level is controlled by the dam height. But what will eventually happen is that the dam will be filled with silt instead of water, which means it won't be much use for flood mitigation any more.
hi 👋မဂ်လာပါ❤
Egypt has a under sand sea of water - underground rivers - and more.
Not only Egypt even Antarctica does
Oh dear
To stop all that excess water they should build big steel water storage tanks to suck up and hold the water that start filling holding the water once the water reaches a certain height. Later if needed they can release it as needed out into their rice fields.
Once it is in a container it cannot flood jack!!
were ever u r the Government can do wat they want to you sadly................. Just wait until the day it happens to You my-friend, YES YOU WHO IS READING THIS RIGHT-NOW.!!!
Not only those who read this but everyone's turn will come
The stuff on all the rivers except the Mississippi was about pollution and climate change, etc. The Mississippi section was mostly only about the blues and a smidgen about the poverty, but nothing about the destructive agricultural and meat industry runoff pouring into the Gulf of Mexico making it a dead zone.
@2:40:10 the narrator kept calling that city Keiru, pronounced kay-roo. I deduced that he might mean CAIRO, pronounced Ky-ro, since that area has a lot of Egyptian names - like Memphis. Sure enough, for all you Americans, he was talking about Cairo. Right up river from Memphis, just like he said. I don't know what country he was from, but what I read online said we (brits & yanks) pronounce it the same. So maybe that wasn't a British accent after all.
I've never in my life heard anyone pronounce it kay-roo I couldn't stop laughing at the narrator pronouncing it. Its spelled exactly like it is spelled in Egypt here in the states. We have quite a few cities named Cairo for some reason
Majestic Scenic River. It's A Shame.
How old this episode is ?
*is this episode
Sorry mate, was that a question?
2015
Yeah. The Three Gorges project was under construction 20 years ago.
I have to say regarding the Amazon River and the destruction of the forests I did not realise just how large of an area it was being killed every day. O can not even comprehend those amounts. I did know it was going on, but the vastness of this is too huge to understand. I have to ask is my putting plastics and glass in various bins doing anything when these criminals can for just greed do this to the planet's lungs? Those doing this should be named and shamed, the ships left unloaded at our ports and turned back, The people there are too vulnerable to take on killers, but here in the west we can take action. The three gorges dam, but we did this when we build dams and motorways, people are moved, we have no say, Then the flooding of valleys, this was done in Whales what do you think they flooded? Villages, graves, everything was gone. I had hoped to see the Russian rivers as well.
An anunaki alien washed his hair in the Ganga now it's holy. I wud never have guessed
Man destroys everything he touches
Are the "powers that be" not aware of the plight of the River Ganges and the impact on some of it's people ? .
Liked this... except for all propa. So they know how to move 80 plus ton stones with?
What of the recent tsunami in Indonesia?
An Ethiopian engineer should be able to create solar powered pump to extract water from the Nile with hoses penetrating the agricultural land. This will solved their independence from food aid
39:10 why can there not be room for pride and progress? If others have recognized problems with the environment along the dam I can't the Chinese government begin doing something about it? Would that not add to the appreciable pride of the dam while at the same time adding to that pride as improvements are made?
3:11:20 so I can find peace and transquility 😂
Why Rhine instead Danube?
Great documentary - each segment was at least a 4 out of 5! Sad to be reminded of our past but the point should be that humans did bad things to each other and no one is blameless bc we are all guilty of something, if u think yr family is squeaky clean go back a few generations and learn - white vs black rich vs poor vs add a descriptor here. Its all divisive until I realized were all human and theres a few bad behaviors that are endemic to our species which doesnt excuse them but gives an example to learn from. Above all else, be nice to one another. Proper Education Always Corrects Errors!

Why so many negative comments on china? Look at the progress China has made since 1949, and the development since three gorges dam was built
For all these "developing" countries, the easiest way to modernize is to use their natural resources to the fullest. Obviously this can lead to issues with their rivers, land, and people. The rest of us can't say much as "first world" countries have done the same for centuries to get where they are today. It's just that by these "developing" countries doing it now we are aware of what issues this can cause for the environment.
@kevincaldwell4707 so nice to see a thoughtful and educated comment instead of making fun of other cultures and nationalities.
Before the creation of the EPA and various other agencies and government regulations US companies trashed this beautiful country. Here in Cleveland there is a local beer named "burning river," named after the Cuyahoga river famously caught on fire. This event helped lead to the creation of the EPA.
Some of these other countries are just now reaching industry levels the US reached throughout the early 1900s, and like you said nowadays info spreads much quicker than it used to in the past.
Another comment buried above me brought up that the Mississippi still encounters heavy pollution from the meat industry.
How could you describe Ganges without mentioning The Padma in Bangladesh ?
When was this produced?
The Mississipi story though,sad sad
I watched a documentary on another part of China and no running water or electricity 😉🫤
4:38:20 "five billion cubic litres" you what now?
Ganges is so dirty !
Over a thousand people have died in the building of this megastructure ..😢
That means people was working over them edge strength and with out any safety.😢😡
cos they are crazy. like those who built the early skyscrapers in new york.
So a caiman walks in to a restaurant and asks the owner what's on the menu? She says chicken fajitas and handbags.
How will China react to a nature's negative feed back?
2:26:50 E coli does not cause typhoid and hepatitis. They are each caused and transmitted by their own pathogens. E coli is just an easily detectable marker for human sewerage, which may also carry these other pathogens. It can make you sick in its own right, but E coli alone won't give you typhoid!
If they love it why kill it.😢

Close down leather product industries
Wah waaah wah, so we had it good for a few decades and built up all this fancy infra-structure [and expectations], but life is change, change is [sometimes uuuh, "profoundly"] uncomfortable, and we're just gonna have to embrace that discomfort. And honestly, I used to care if humans caused some of it or all of it, but I don't anymore. It's on us, and all we can do is adapt. Cuz ya know what? humans aren't interested in giving up even. single. little. thing they have in their actual grasp for the future or whatever, so the way it'll happen is that our comforts and expectations will be eventually be torn away from us and then we'll all run around crying and walloping each other and slowly adapt. It's not going to be fun.
Acedently said cuting down trees
Not fossil fuels
News flash🎉 Moscato's can't breed in any moving water 😊
After the last, no tree planting will resolve melting glaciers . Perhaps India is the one with worst possibilities with such procreation stats.
That's actually not a true statement. It would however take a lot of trees. But trees being planted in abundance everywhere certainly would change the climate and environment. It's due to this fact that you and the like believe such things that cause these problems to worsen. There's a great many solutions that each and every person could contribute personally that would absolutely make a huge world changing effect. For example if every soul on earth planted one tree a month it most definitely would have an extremely noticeable effect. Another would be if each and every person on earth stopped buying things they want rather than things they need only every other day or more if people wouldn't act like it would kill them. Or if every single person refrained from eating fast food anymore. Or if every single soul stood up against the reigns of government at the same time. Or if every single soul only bought organic. Or stopped eating red meat. Or refused to support any business that was subjecting abuse on people or the environment. There's endless ways that each and every person as an individual could make drastic changes in this world if they would stop believing that there's nothing they can do or if the case is to stop being so damn self serving. Selfishness and greed is the cause of all this. And big business wouldn't be so powerful without all of you as customers. Think about it without being defensive and you will see. Truth.
@ 7:55 That statement didn't age well at all......
Married the girl doing the dolphin, eat the caymon trying to eat me ...
Ethiopia is also one of the poorest countries and have never been colonized, why should Egypt give away its water? ...lets see Ethiopia fight over water, it will be a very short battle.
'Provides nutrients'; yes, peasants provide over providing to Yellow Sea. See what happens with peasants over nutrients. There are studies in Beijing; I want to know if actually used?
Nobody can tame nature. Ask me why?
Why aren't the CCP offer allotments to the farmers being forced off their lands by the dam and into high rise flats?? What a tortuous life for a farmer to be forced into 😕 allotments would ease that pain and keep people feeling productive.
Money money money. So sad. Wouldn’t many damns done the same thing without losing history?
DIdn't U-stand complexity of broadcast of broadcast. China needs to learn more from US dam building. As one-woman-band, and explained, the real problem is Shanghai and its fast growth technology.
In a sea of a comments, one cannot fail to notice the monumental mountain of American arrogance rising from the depths to teach all of China about U.S. dam building. Shup up fool, the only remaining technology the U.S. currently leads is in weaponry manufacture
Three rivers for Eurasia, one each for America north and south, and the Nile. You missed the rest of Africa, and you missed Australia entirely.
If you can't include the Congo and the Murray-Darling, you're not even trying.
WE'RE IN HELL. HE'LL HELL
People who get most RUclips likes, most likely posted during peak traffic times. Your comments are still valuable.❤
You replaced the Danube with the Rhine, completely irrelevant to European history. Vinca culture (or Danube culture, as some like to call it) is the root of European culture, but it's a wonder how historians avoid it, especially the British one.
