India, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam - all the countries that share a common land mass - developed the Ganga-Mekong Co-operation pact to envision a shared future of peaceful coexistance. Part 1 of 'A Bridge Over Time' follows the river Mekong that flows through these countries, and presents historic cities and regions where religions and culture have spread from India. The Gangetic plains of India also supported the growth of the two religions, Hinduism and Buddhism. The film tries to understand how culture and religion spread from India to South East Asia given the enormous difficulties in travel due to the terrain and the fact the monarchs from these countries did not try to subjugate or colonise each other. The film travels through the river valleys to find an answer to this question.
