Spike Lee Executive Produces Indie Film PARIAH (VIDEO)

From Executive Producer Spike Lee, Pariah is an independent success story for first-time feature film filmmaker Dee Rees who made this feature length film after her award-winning short film created a lot of buzz on the festival circuit. Watch a clip from PARIAH.

In PARIAH, 17-year-old Alike is quietly but firmly embracing her identity as a lesbian. With the sometimes boisterous support of her best friend, out lesbian Laura (Pernell Walker), Alike is especially eager to find a girlfriend. At home, her parents’ marriage is strained and there is further tension in the household whenever Alike’s development becomes a topic of discussion. Pressed by her mother into making the acquaintance of a colleague’s daughter, Bina (Aasha Davis), Alike finds Bina to be unexpectedly refreshing to socialize with.

PARIAH is in movie theatres December 30th.
