We have partnered with our friends from The Princeton University Art Museum to bring the 1991 Denzel Washington classic MISSISSIPPI MASALA to our big screen. Rachael Z. DeLue, director of the Princeton Humanities Initiative will join us in-person to introduce the movie. This screening is a part of the Art Museum and Humanities Initiative's Re-visioning America Film Series.

Years after her Indian family is forced to flee Uganda, Mina (Sarita Choudhury) helps run a motel in Mississippi, where she begins a passionate romance with Demetrius (Denzel Washington), a charming Black carpet cleaner. As their relationship challenges family expectations and exposes deep cultural divides, MISSISSIPPI MASALA thoughtfully explores racism, colorism and the transformative power of love.
