Asia Dynamic - Henna on My Hands

In this Asia Dynamic special, reporter Bharat Jamnadas follows Auckland-born Indian woman Nalini Chhima. An accomplished dancer, Nalini travels to Navsari, India for a traditional marriage. Like her parents, Chhima argues an arranged marriage has a better chance of surviving than a love marriage. This documentary tracks Chhima’s emotional journey, her desire to please her parents and be true to her culture, and some unexpected developments in India.
