Director Mira Nair plots a winding trajectory from Idi Amin\\u2019s forced removal of Asians from Uganda in 1973 to the struggles of a small-time owner-operator carpet cleaner in 90s Mississippi. All this serves as a foundation for a culture clash romance struggling to blossom amidst the demands and expectations of southern African-American identity and a very specific form of an Indian immigrant experience.

If you\\u2019d like to watch ahead for next week\\u2019s film, we will be discussing and reviewing Jim Jarmusch\\u2019s Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999).
