BONUS! Now Re-Playing: "Mississippi Masala"
Weeee're back! This week's new bonus episode of "Now Re-Playing" is all about the 1991 Mira Nair film, "Mississippi Masala." The film follows a young Indian woman (Sarita Choudhury), whose family has immigrated from Uganda, as she falls in love with an African American man (Denzel Washington) in the small town of Greenwood, Mississippi. "Mississippi Masala" was one of the first mainstream films that really explored an interracial relationship between two people of color, and the ideas of identity, racism/prejudice and colorism, especially within the BIPOC community. What better film to re-watch now??
