Adepero Oduye Interview - Pariah

What drew Adepero Oduye to accept the role in Dee Rees’s Pariah? Instant attraction. She understood the material of the script and could relate to the feeling of not belonging, of not feeling free. Pariah is the story of a 17-year-old Brooklyn girl who juggles her conservative family life with her secret lesbian identity.

Oduye talks to Bonnie Laufer of Tribute about the power of film and what she hopes people will take from it.
