Meet The Patels, directed by Ravi V. Patel and Geeta V. Patel
Ravi Patel, an almost-30-year-old Indian-American, enters a love triangle between the woman of his dreams... and his parents. Fresh out of a break-up and struck by how happy the marriages within his community are, he enlists the help of his parents to find an American Patel just like him. Witty and brutally honest, this hilarious documentary explores the questions with which we all struggle: What is love? How do we find it? And even then, how do we keep it?
