Black lesbian



It's a good thing that there is a movie on the experience of a black lesbian. I'm so tired of seeing blacks, men or women, depicted only within the framework of poverty, class struggle and race.

I hear Pariah, a film that won critical accolades at the 2011 Sundance festival, is a saga of a black teen's tempestuous journey through sexual identity.

Pariah is written by precocious African American writer (who went into film writing after getting an MBA in finance), Dee Rees.

"I'm broken, but I am free," says the protagonist of Pariah.
