Hey guys! I made it all the way to the most remote state in India (Arunachal Pradesh) way up in the Northeastern part of the country. I came here with one goal: to meet the NOSE PLUG TRIBE and tell you their fascinating story. Back in the day, the humble ladies of the Apatani tribe would plug their noses with thick pieces of bamboo to avoid getting kidnapped (by men from neighboring tribes). Then in 1975, the Indian government banned nose plugging, and today, there are less than 500 women remaining. You will get to know several of them in this 20-minute documentary. I learned a lot about Northeast India while shooting this story, and I hope that you feel inspired by this incredible region. There is still plenty more of India to explore, as you will see in my next 2 videos! Does anyone read these descriptions anymore? Sometimes I feel like I'm writing to nobody here when I type these... If you are reading this, then comment 3 emojis of how this video made you feel and share where you are from (I will be reading them all!!)
