Varnasi, India: "Beyond" Documentary

Today a photographer that I follow on Facebook, Joey Lawrence, posted this image. With the image, he posted a very lengthy caption about the time he and his friends Cale Glendening went to Varnasi, India for Cale's photography project relating to various religions around the world.
The man in the above picture is Lal Baba. According to Joey Lawrence, "when Lal Baba was young, his parents arranged a marriage for him. He ran away from home and decided to become a sadhu. Lal Baba's dreadlocks were several meters long, which have been growing for over 40 years. To sadhus, dreadlocks are a sign of renunciation and a life dedicated to spirituality." Lal Baba ended up dying of old age.
Along with the rest of the caption he posted on Facebook, he posted a link to the behind the scenes documentary. I'm only 14 minutes in but I'm already fascinated by it, and there is definitely some things to take note of when documenting people you've never met.
