First generation Indian-American daughters grab for glory in this hybrid of a beauty pageant, the Miss India-Georgia competition. This freewheeling look at four contestants follows fussing and primping, fretting over gowns, and the family sacrifice it takes to make a winner—or an also-ran. Some embrace their old world values, the cultural traditions nurtured by family, while others opt for jazz dance and part-time work at the Chick-Fil-A. A fascinating look at the tug of culture, the strength of family, the temptation of the West, the fragile dreams of youth—all commingled in a beauty pageant held, of course, down south.
