STATEMENT FROM THE RHYTHM AND BLUES FOUNDATION CHAIRMAN DAMON WILLIAMS ON THE PASSING OF SOUL TRAIN CREATOR DON CORNELIUS

“Don Cornelius was a VISIONARY AND PIONEER who will always be remembered for his gift to the world: ‘Soul Train.’ Without Don’s contributions, Rhythm and Blues music would not have had a TV platform to expose artists that has meant so much to the rich history of Rhythm and Blues music. We are beyond grateful to Don for everything that he has done to cement our music and our culture into the hearts and minds of people all over the world.

“Our condolences go out to Don’s family and friends all over the world”

*WINNER - 2011 GOTHAM INDEPENDENT AWARD*
BREAKTHROUGH DIRECTOR - Dee Rees

*NOMINEE - 2011 FILM INDEPENDENT SPIRIT AWARDS*
BEST FEMALE LEAD - Adepero Oduye
JOHN CASSAVETTES AWARD

PARIAH opens in theaters December 28, 2011 in NY, LA and SF.

A world premiere at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, the contemporary drama Pariah is the feature-length expansion of writer/director Dee Rees’ award-winning 2007 short film Pariah. Spike Lee is among the feature’s executive producers.

Adepero Oduye, who had earlier starred in the short film, portrays Alike (pronounced ah-lee-kay), a 17-year-old African-American woman who lives with her parents Audrey and Arthur (Kim Wayans and Charles Parnell) and younger sister Sharonda (Sahra Mellesse) in Brooklyn’s Fort Greene neighborhood. She has a flair for poetry, and is a good student at her local high school. Alike is quietly but firmly embracing her identity as a lesbian. With the sometimes boisterous support of her best friend, out lesbian Laura (Pernell Walker), Alike is especially eager to find a girlfriend. At home, her parents’ marriage is strained and there is further tension in the household whenever Alike’s development becomes a topic of discussion. Pressed by her mother into making the acquaintance of a colleague’s daughter, Bina (Aasha Davis), Alike finds Bina to be unexpectedly refreshing to socialize with. Wondering how much she can confide in her family, Alike strives to get through adolescence with grace, humor, and tenacity - sometimes succeeding, sometimes not, but always moving forward.
