Lors d’une nuit chaude en Août 2006, un groupe de jeunes amis lesbiennes afro-américaines sont harcelés dans un quartier gay friendly de New York City. Elles se défendent et un combat s’ensuit. Chargées d’agressions et qualifiées de « Lesbian Wolfpack » dans les médias traditionnels, quatre des femmes commencent une bataille émotionnelle et psychologique alors qu’elles prétendent avoir agi en légitime défense.
L’histoire de quatre jeunes lesbiennes Africaines Américaines qui ont commis un crime afin de se défendre. Les 4 amies, qui sortent pour une soirée à New York, deviennent connues sous le nom du « Gang des Lesbiennes tueuses » (ou « The New Jersey 4 » ou « Les 4 de New Jersey) quand elles ont dû se défendre face à une agression dans la rue.

English
The story of four young African American lesbians who became criminals for defending themselves.
OUT IN THE NIGHT (formerly titled The Fire This Time) follows the journey of a group of African American teenagers who went to a gay-friendly neighborhood in New York City for a night out. These lesbian and gender non-conforming friends, Patreese, Renata, Terrain and Venice, were confronted by an older man on the street. They defended themselves. Strangers jumped in to support them and a fight ensued. Only the women were rounded up by police and charged and convicted as perpetrators of gang assault. They became known as The New Jersey 4.
OUT IN THE NIGHT follows their journey to Rikers Island, to the courtroom, and through slanderous media coverage that labeled them a « Wolfpack » and « Lesbian Gang ». While exploring the fight from all sides through the security camera footage that captured it, that hot August night in 2006 can be seen from many perspectives. But our film’s purpose is to examine the events after the fight: biased media coverage likening the women to « man-hating » animals, and unprecedentedly harsh sentencing by the court. This story shows how four young, queer women of color were unfairly criminalized for defending themselves.
