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? The film fills a critical gap in mainstream adoption narratives.
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.
