Ravi Patel is almost 30 years old and still single. His tradition-minded Hindu family is not happy. After he breaks up with his white girlfriend—a relationship kept secret from his parents—he enters the Patel family’s semi-arranged marriage system.
A well-oiled machine, the Patel network is instantly alerted of Ravi’s availability through his legendary matchmaker mother and his life-advice-spouting father, both of whom expertly quarterback Ravi’s love life through a system that has brought love into the lives of all of Ravi’s cousins. Meet the Patels explores the influences of culture and identity on the most intense, personal, and important part of one’s life—love.
Each screening is followed by a facilitated conversation about the issues raised in the film.
