The documentary was shot on 35m film during a seven-day festival in the hamlet of Naluna in the Garhwal Himalaya, India, November 2009. This relates the story of the Bhagavatapurana.
There is also a 25 page paper "Mountain god and sacred text: Power-sharing and cultural synthesis in a Garhwal community" by McComas Taylor:
The first and indeed the abiding impression of the hamlet of Naluna in the Garhwal foothills is the ever-present rushing of the Gaṅgā River. Here the Gaṅgā's swift glacial waters, flecked with white-caps, are less than 80km from their source in the high Himalayas, but are still over 100km from Haridwar where the river emerges from the mountains on to the North Indian Plain.

The tenth and eleventh books, which together account for nearly half the total length, contain the best-loved stories of Kṛṣṇa's childhood and youth among the cow-herding people of the Vraja. ...
