Bradford Queer Film Festival Presents : Chutney Popcorn

A woman. Her girlfriend. A sister. Her husband. Their baby. Chutney Popcorn is the feature debut from prolific Director, Writer, Producer and Actor Nisha Ganatra who stars in this comedy drama as a young Indian American lesbian who acts as a surrogate for her sister. 

When Sarita discovers she can't get pregnant, Reena (Ganatra) steps in and acts as a surrogate hoping the offer will mend a broken relationship with their mother who hasn't come to terms with Reena's sexuality and also struggles with Sarita and Reena's Western lives. Things aren't smooth sailing however and Reena's relationship with her girlfriend Lisa suffers and family dynamics are also stretched. Will it be happily ever after for Reena and her family? Both chosen and biological? 

This moving, funny and classically 90's classic is an exploration of identity, family and growing up.
