Great story, and sadly so true. It was so interesting to see how the detailed stitching on the sari was done as well. Always makes me think long and hard about where the things I buy come from.

@wanderingzito Exactly! I had intended to buy a Saris while I was here but our team pretty much guaranteed that all are stitched together by children (if they aren't prints) since they are the "worker of choice" because of their small hands. I haven't bought one Sari and the whole team has become very conscious of trying to buy goods that are unlikely to be put together by children. I think the world needs better documentation on goods! Its hard to know what you are purchasing!

Love! Great video, Shen. Love how you put it together. Looking forward to the next one.

@adsjwood Thank you Ads, it was really hard for an amateur like me but I had Sam our WV India escort to help!

This is so sad.. at that age what they should do is live their childhood.. but unfortunately that is not possible there.. let's hope that one day that will be possible for every single child on earth :)

naaww I have tears in my eyes watching this, this must have been so hard to interview him and not show emotion in front of him?
