Women with a Vision, Inc. and BreakOUT in collaboration with the New Orleans Film Festival present a screening and discussion of “Out in the Night.”
“Out in the Night” is a documentary film by blair dorosh-walther examining the 2006 case of the New Jersey 4, four young, black lesbian friends from Newark who were charged with assault when they defended themselves against an attack. Out in the Night follows the case as their race, gender, and sexuality are criminalized in the news media and legal system.
WWAV and BreakOUT! are excited to partner with the New Orleans Film Festival to present the documentary screening, followed by a Q&A with the director and producer, plus a community panel examining violence against Black women and LGBTQ communities. See the Facebook invite here!
