It deals really well with a host of near-universal issues—identity, heritage, family connections—and is as insightful, interesting, and entertaining as it sounds.

director's statement
LOVE CHAOS KIN emerged from a deeply personal journey. As an Indian immigrant contemplating adoption, I found myself grappling with questions: Can I adopt in America? How do I preserve my language, culture, and religion while raising a child in a culture adjacent to their birth heritage? By showcasing the experiences of an Indian immigrant family and their adopted white-passing, Navajo-descent twins, it provides a counter-narrative and visibility to mixed American family dynamics. It advocates for adoption practices that prioritize children’s well-being and maintain connections with birth families. At a time of significant social and political strife on a global level, this film shows how everyday citizens bridge divides and unite for the children they love and care for.

Distribution
LOVE CHAOS KIN will serve as a powerful catalyst to engage a diverse cross-section of American audiences, spreading the message of empathy and interconnectedness. Our two-year outreach campaign will advocate for ethical, child-centered adoption that maintains contact with birth families, and simultaneously imbue pride and belonging among 1st and 2nd generation South Asian and AAPI communities. Through targeted events, we’ll foster connection and empower communities to greater civic engagement.
