Out in the Night
A group of African lesbians defend themselves against harassment, leading to wrongful convictions. This documentary explores racism and homophobia in the U.S. justice system.
One fateful August night in 2006, the lives of a group of African lesbians out for a fun evening in NYC were changed forever when they fought back against a man who kept harassing them. The media had a field day in the aftermath, calling them a “gang of killer lesbians.” Known as the “New Jersey Four,” the women were found guilty and given harsh sentences of 2-8 years for gang assault, despite highly questionable evidence. Their stories are finally being told, and OUT IN THE NIGHT exposes the institutionalized racism in the court system and the media that deemed them all a “wolf pack.” Contains graphic violence.
