Mississippi Masala
Passion. Tradition. Mix it up.
Directed by Mira Nair
Produced by Cinecom Pictures, Mirabai Films
A tender, socially conscious romance that uses an interracial relationship to explore displacement, prejudice, and the collision between immigrant and African-American communities in the American South.
Years after her Indian family was forced to flee their Uganda home, twentysomething Mina finds herself co-operating a motel in the faraway land of Mississippi. Her passionate romance with charming Black carpet cleaner Demetrius challenges the prejudices of their conservative families and exposes the rifts between the region's Indian and African-American communities.
