Indian block printing

We visit a village called Bagru in India where fabrics are made by an ancient method called block printing. Ajeet is an Indian garment exporter who travels with his daughter Sanjula to let her see the process involved in making her favourite dress. She is very inquisitive and Ajeet takes her through the different stages, from the carving of the wooden blocks through to the final dyeing and drying. Finally she sees the fabric from which her dress is made, finished and drying in the sun.
