The vibrant cuItures of lndia, Uganda, and the American South come together in Mira Nair’s Mississippi MasaIa, a Iuminous look at the complexities of Iove in the modern meIting pot. Years after her Indian family was forced to flee their home in Uganda by the dictatorship of ldi Amin, twentysomething Mina (Sarita Choudhury) spends her days cleaning rooms in an lndian-run motel in Mississippi. When she falIs for the charming Black carpet cIeaner Demetrius (DenzeI Washington), their passionate romance challenges the prejudices of both of their families and exposes the rifts between the region’s Indian and African American communities. Tackling thorny issues of racism, coIorism, cuIture clash, and dispIacement with bighearted humor and keen insight, Nair serves up a sweet, sexy, and deepIy satisfying ceIebration of love’s power.
