Description
Pariah [puh-rahy-uh] noun
1. An outcast. 2. Any person or animal that is generally despised or avoided.
... more3. A member of a low caste in southern India and Burma.
Does a word really have the power to change the course of a friendship? Funny, provocative and moving, Parah asks urgent questions about love, home and belonging.
Four friends, who could be the poster children of Malaysia, start questioning their history and identity after discovering a page of their assigned reading, Interlok, has been ripped out.
Upon investigating the source of this seemingly innocent act, they unearth a layer of politics that begins to strain their relationships. Perhaps the racial gap in today's Malaysia is much wider than they thought.
Written by Alfian Bin Sa'at. Directed by Jo Kukathas.
Parah is performed in Bahasa Malaysia with English subtitles.
