social-issuey

adj. Serious business, my friends.

Real citation: "They aren't meant to be like Bollywood; they are American and British movies made by Indian immigrants or sons/daughters of immigrants. They are usually more social-issuey, less melodramatic, and more about the immigrant experience, which I can relate to a lot even as a non-desi. (The one exception is Bollywood/Hollywood, which totally is trying to mix Bollywood with Hollywood.)"

Made-up citation: "It just doesn't seem right to describe Gandhi as a svelte, social-issuey studmeister."
