Check out two quick versions of a trailer for this amazing movie my friend Claire told me about.
The website explains it thus:
Pariah is a coming-of-age drama about a lesbian teenager who unsuccessfully juggles multiple identities to avoid rejection from her friends and family.
Set against the kinetic and incongruous social landscape of middle class New York City, Alike vacillates between being a proud and sexually independent woman amongst her openly gay friends and being the feminine, obedient girl that her strict Christian upbringing dictates she be.
Torn by mounting pressure from home, school, and within, the line between her dual personas wears thin with explosive consequences.
It doesn’t currently have any theater distribution deals, but you can see it on iTunes and Netflix. The folks behind the film are working on getting funding for a full length feature now, so the more enthusiasm people show for it, the better!

I tried to find it on netflix, no luck? Can you post a link to it?
I looked up Pariah on Netflix and the one that comes up sounds like a very different movie.
Mmm…maybe that’s not right. Just stick with iTunes I guess.
Not finding it in iTunes.
*scratches head*
You can find info and a link to the official site on imdb, but I’m still not sure where you can watch the actual film…
