Out in the Night is a documentary that tells the story of four young black lesbians who were charged and convicted for defending themselves from a man who attacked them on the street. The young women were violently and sexually threatened by a man on a hot summer night. However the court did not take that into consideration and sentences them to prison unjustly. The media twisted their story and portrayed them as a Gang of Killer Lesbians. Nevertheless these young women tell their side of the story on what happened that night and how the incident affected them individually and as a group. The film gave us a clear demonstration on how hard it is to feel safe because saying no can't actually protect you.
