  "American Chai" (MPAA rating: R) is a funny, heartfelt, coming-of-age story about an Indian American college boy, Sureel, who can't tell his traditional immigrant parents that he wants to become a musician, not a doctor. The film was directed by Anurag Mehta.

  A representative from Tasveer will moderate a post-film discussion. Tasveer is a Northwest nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting independent South Asian cinema.
