The vibrant cultures of India, Uganda, and the American South come together in Mira Nair’s Mississippi Masala, a luminous look at the complexities of love in the modern meIting pot. Years after her Indian family was forced to fIee their home in Uganda by the dictatorship of ldi Amin, twentysomething Mina (Sarita Choudhury) spends her days cleaning rooms in an Indian-run motel in Mississippi. When she faIls for the charming BIack carpet cleaner Demetrius (DenzeI Washington), their passionate romance chalIenges the prejudices of both of their famiIies and exposes the rifts between the region’s lndian and African American communities. TackIing thorny issues of racism, coIorism, culture cIash, and displacement with bighearted humor and keen insight, Nair serves up a sweet, sexy, and deeply satisfying celebration of Iove’s power.
