12/16/2015 It angered me that these 4 lesbians were demonised by the US media as "a gang of lesbians" for simply defending themselves against a violent street harasser. They absolutely deserve to have their stories told. Important lessons to be learned about anti-black racism in the media, misoynoir and homophobia to be had here. See more 06/23/2015 Great presentation!!! I love how the filmmaker went into detail with everything!!! See more 01/17/2015 I personally know these young ladies and what they went through. I'm very proud they were able to showcase to everyone their experiences. See more 01/17/2015 Great documentary...about the inhumanity and [in]tolerance of people See more 01/17/2015 This film simply shows how gender and sexuality creates classes in our legal system. A group of women were only trying to protect themselves from a predator. The biased media did not tell the whole story - this is why "Out In The Night" is needed.
