Join the UAA Multicultural Center and Alaska Public Media for a free preview screening of the documentary "Meet the Patels." A discussion will follow the film.

About the film: Ravi Patel is almost 30, an actor, and, worst of all to his traditional Hindu parents, still unmarried. After he breaks up with his white girlfriend, Ravi submits to his parents' wishes and allows them to play matchmaker. The true-life romantic comedy Meet the Patels explores the influences of culture and identity on the most intense, personal, and important part of one's life-love. Learn more and view the trailer at MeetThePatelsFilm.com.

Free and open to the public. Free parking available.

Unable to attend? Alaska Public Media will present "Meet the Patels" again this Saturday, Dec. 3, from 1 to 2:30 p.m. at the Alaska Experience Theatre as part of the Anchorage International Film Festival.
