February 22, 2001 –
Mira Nair’s wonderful Monsoon Wedding, opened in both Los Angeles and New York on this date. (if you don’t already know it, Ms. Nair is the mother of the mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani.)
A large portion of the original footage (including the wedding itself) was ruined by an airport x-ray machine. The scenes had to be re-shot, when additional funds had been raised to do so, some months later.
