Do Black Lesbians Have a Right to Self-Defense?

[ellenrr]

"If you're a black woman, do you have the right to defend yourself when attacked? What if you're a black lesbian? What if you're a black, gender non-conforming lesbian and your attacker is a heterosexual man? Do you still have that right?

Out in the Night challenges us to consider these questions. The documentary follows the case of Venice Brown, Terrain Dandridge, Renata Hill and Patreese Johnson, four women who became known as the New Jersey Four after defending themselves against attack."
