OUT IN THE NIGHT
OUT IN THE NIGHT
Blair Doroshwalther
(US, 2014, 75 min)
This documentary delves into the media
frenzy surrounding a controversial altercation that took place in the West
Village, a typically gay-friendly neighborhood in New York City. A group of
young African-American lesbians were violently threatened by a man on the
street, and in defending themselves were scandalously maligned by the media and
dubbed a “Gang of Killer Lesbians.” Four of the women were convicted and
sentenced to prison in a shocking verdict that seemed to ignore the facts and
instead followed the inflammatory accounts by the press. Director Blair
Doroshwalther interviews the women themselves, reporters, officers, and family
members, trying to piece together what really happened that night.
