My Mother India is a humorous and deeply engaging documentary by Safina Uberoi about her parents — her Australian mother, a sociologist, and her Indian Sikh father, who moved to India soon after their marriage.

The film is made up of new and historical footage, family photographs, and interviews with the family, notably Safina’s mother, Patricia.
