LOVE CHAOS KIN (98 min) is an intimate documentary that follows white-presenting, Navajo-descent twins and their South Asian adoptive parents over 12 years. The film captures their complex reckoning with identity, race, and belonging as the children reconnect with their struggling white birth mother and, eventually, their estranged Navajo birth father.

It is being shown at the Disorient Asian American Film Festival of Oregon on Saturday at 8:15 pm at the Art House Eugene Theater #2, followed by a Q&A with the filmmaker.

It’s rare for a documentary to follow a single family through an entire cycle of childhood, capturing the raw, unscripted evolution of identity and feelings about adoption. The film tackles modern Native American erasure subtly and the ethics of cross-cultural adoption—topics such as immigration and American Identity that are currently at the forefront of national conversations.
