Ferryman Of The Dead | Lallu Manjhi | 101 Heartland

Meet the man who ferries souls across the river Ganga and into the afterlife.

Varanasi's tourist boats take you on sightseeing trips around the ghats. But Lallu Manjhi's boat is different. It ferries passengers to the next life. A truly inspiring story of a good samaritan. And part of our ongoing series on #DeathInIndia.

101 Heartland celebrates both unique communities and individual tales of hope, struggle, and reform. From the village of Bouncers just outside Delhi to the fascinating story of Ram Kumar Tyagi, once a wanted man but now a coach for aspiring female wrestlers, 101 Heartland tells stories for the heart, from the heartland.
