PARIAH! 
Block Cinema - Mary & Leigh Block Museum of Art
(Northwestern University Campus)
40 Arts Circle Drive Evanston, IL 7:00 PM
The acclaimed Sundance
hit Pariah
is the feature-length expansion of writer/director Dee Rees' award-winning
2007 short film of the same name.
African-American teenager Alike juggles multiple identities to
avoid rejection from her friends and family, vacillating between being a
proud butch among her openly gay friends and being the feminine, obedient
girl that her strict Christian upbringing dictates that she be. Living with
her parents and younger sister in Brooklyn, life is tense and her parents'
marriage is strained.
When she takes the bus into New York City to go clubbing, an
entirely different world awaits her, one with go-go dancers, thumping music,
and butch bravado. With the boisterous support of her best friend, out
lesbian Laura, Alike is quietly but firmly embracing her identity as a butch
lesbian, and is eager to find a girlfriend. Torn by mounting pressure from
home, school, and within, the line between her dual personas wears thin with
explosive consequences.
