Aghoris are the most feared and most extreme of India's sadhus. This last documentary in the series, Living with the Dead, looks at these people who live on Hindu cremation grounds eating their own excreta and the burnt flesh of corpses. They believe that by polluting themselves they will destroy their egos and become purified.

Rajesh Bedi met aghori Ram Nath by chance and over a period of years developed a friendship with him. This unusual relationship resulted in him gaining unique access to this morbid way of life to make this film.

The programme follows Ram Nath as he nears the end of his 12-year aghori vow, showing him meditating over the funeral pyres, searching for a human skull to use as a bowl, taking part in an exorcism and travelling to an aghori festival near Calcutta where he is accused of being possessed by a demon. It also explores the growing rift between Ram Nath and his guru, who believes his student is acting too egotistically. The cameras are also with Ram Nath when he visits his family who, not surprisingly, are distraught that he has chosen such a dark, dangerous and bestial religious path.
