Pariah Synopsis
A rousing success at its world premiere at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, this deeply felt human drama is the feature debut of writer/director Dee Rees. Adepero Oduye portrays Alike (pronounced "ah-lee-kay"), a 17-year-old African-American woman who lives with her parents (Kim Wayans and Charles Parnell) and younger sister (Sahra Mellesse) in Brooklyn's Fort Greene neighborhood.

Wondering how much she can confide in her family, Alike strives to get through adolescence with grace, humor, and tenacity.

I just finished watching it Adepero Oduye is a wonderful actress. I could relate to it not on the sexuality level but whole family dynamic. This was a beautiful film and I'm glad it got made.
