Screentime: Meet The Patels

By Gina Kaufmann,
Jen Chen
Published October 23, 2015 at 12:49 PM CDT

Meet the Patels is a documentary about an Indian-American man who is considering an arranged marriage. Along with our resident film critic, two local residents — one who has an arranged marriage, another who doesn't — review the film and share their thoughts on having a foot in two different cultures.

Guests:

  • Russ Simmons, KCUR's resident movie critic
  • Michael Abraham
  • Reetu Singh

People don't make cameos in news stories; the human story is the story, with characters affected by news events, not defined by them. As a columnist and podcaster, I want to acknowledge what it feels like to live through this time in Kansas City, one vantage point at a time. Together, these weekly vignettes form a collage of daily life in Kansas City as it changes in some ways, and stubbornly resists change in others.
