Word of the week that has been buzzing around my head is the word PARIAH.
Turns out there’s a film of the same title.
PAR-I-AH: noun: an outcast, a person without status, once a member of a low caste in southern India and Burma.
Etymology: From paraiyar, (of the ‘Tamil’ language of India and Sri Lanka) literally meaning ‘drummers’ to refer to the duty of being a low-caste drummer.

I watched that film! It was available online for free. It was really good. About a girl coming to terms with being lesbian and how other people deal with her because of it.
