'My
Mother India' is a passionate film told by the child of a mixed marriage and
set against the tumultuous backdrop of modern Indian history. With an Indian father who collects kitch calendars, an
Australian mother who hangs her knickers out to dry in front of the horrified
Indian neighbours, a grandfather who
was a self-styled Guru and a fiercely man-hating grandmother - it is no wonder
that Safina Uberoi made a film about
her family! What begins as a quirky
and humorous documentary about an eccentric, multicultural upbringing unfolds
into a complex commentary on the social, political and religious events of the
anti-Sikh riots of 1984 which tore this family apart.
