Curator’s clip description

An Indian woman talks about having chosen to marry a white Australian, and the effect of that on her family. Some people said she has no morals. Her mother felt degraded in front of her traditional Indian friends.

Curator’s notes

The frank and articulate subject makes this a simple but effective look at the issue.
