Unfortunately you won’t find this excellent short, Pariah on Netflix. It’s only available through New Day Films. Official website here. I ordered it for our collection at work. First time writer/director Dee Rees did not disappoint. This 28 minute film packs a lot of chaos and trauma into the life of Lee, a 17 year-old African-American young woman. Lee is torn between her identities at home, at school and in the lesbian bars she frequents at night. Currently said to be making a feature length film of Pariah. The short already has high production values, is edgy and current. This one is a must-see.
