This Mother’s Day, the documentary LOVE, CHAOS, KIN will have its world premiere as a centerpiece film at CAAMFest, the nation’s leading showcase for films from Asian America and beyond.
An unexpected pregnancy compels an Indian immigrant mother to help her adopted twin daughters reconnect with their White birth mother—grappling with life’s challenges—and estranged Native American father, exposing raw class divides while transforming their understanding of identity and belonging. 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 diverse American family dynamics. It advocates for ethical, trauma-informed adoption practices that prioritize children’s well-being and maintain connections with birth families. This film shows how everyday citizens bridge divides and unite for the children they love and care about.
