Synopsis

One evening in the West Village, a group of young black lesbians is attacked by a man. They defend themselves and the brawl takes a turn for the worse. Only the women are arrested, the man gets off scott free. They are sentenced to prison for carrying out an attack as an organised gang. Using this story entitled « The gang of killer lesbians » as a starting point, Out In The Night takes an cross-cutting approach, asking why we refuse to see these women as victims. Is it because of their sexual orientation, their gender or their roots ? A hard-hitting film which reminds us that the fight for equal rights remains relevant and ongoing.
