In South Africa's newspaper Cape Times, Tracey Saundes spoke with PARIAH writer/director Dee Rees about making the film and bringing it to Africa. It's an engaging interview covering the state of LGBT people in Afriaca to finding PARIAH's star Adepero Oduye. Dee defines her project with such passion:
