MISS INDIA GEORGIA (56:40)
Produced and directed by Daniel Friedman & Sharon Grimberg
Miss India Georgia follows four contestants during the hectic weeks
lleading up to Atlanta's annual South Asian beauty pageant. In discussions
with their grandparents about arranged marriages, in quarrels with
their boyfriends, and in revealing conversations with Indian and
non-Indian friends, these young women disclose the complexity of
their feelings about growing up in the US as children of immigrant
parents. Sometimes funny and sometimes sad, the stories of these
resilient teenagers teach us that each individual's experience of
"Americanization" is unique.
