After The Wedding

In the second episode of our Love Commandos series, reporter Lauren Frayer tells the love story of an inter-caste couple in India fighting to stay together. Facing the forces of tradition that would keep them apart, this couple runs away from their own community in an attempt to get married. As their own families close in, chasing the newlyweds, they are pushed toward a breaking point.

Enter the Love Commandos.

But do they have the reach and the power to come to the rescue?

This episode briefly mentions suicide. If you or someone you know may be considering suicide or is in crisis, call or text 9 8 8 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
