Introduction The film, Out in the Night, highlights the case of a group of four young African-American lesbians from New Jersey who go out for a night in the West Village streets. The four women, viz. Venice Brown, Terrain Dandridge, Renata Hill, and Patreese Johnson, pass by a man by the name Buckle, who is selling films on the streets. The man provokes Patreese, after which she responds by telling him that she is a lesbian, but he reacts by spitting and throwing a lit cigarette on her. The girls engage in self-defense, and thus a fight erupts. Patreese stubs Buckle with a penknife in retaliation. When the fight intensifies, the women walk away with bruised faces and bleeding lips. The girls are confronted by the police, arrested, and later charged with different degrees of gang assault, and thus they end up serving sentences of 3-11 years of incarceration. One cannot understand the subtle manner in which the girls are labeled as gang members, yet they acted in self-defense, while Buckle, who provokes them, comes out as an innocent victim, yet he is the aggressor. This paper seeks to explore the injustices faced by several groups due to disparities of gender, race, social class, sexuality, and region in respect to what is perceived as self-defense by the society and the law. Reflection Out in the Night challenges individuals to reflect on their life experiences and think of how they have helped to change their current situations and cases of others who happen to share similar events. One critical question that comes up is whether people act when they feel that their rights are threatened. Also, if people act by reporting the cases, is the law justified in its course to rational conflict resolution procedures? The movie reflects on how contemporary society responds to the offenses directed to individuals whether intentionally or unknowingly. In the case of the four girls, the court is viewed as an institution that decides who gets what and why concerning gender, sexuality, race, and class. The court intentionally looks at one side of the story, which perceives Buckle as a justified admirer, not based on facts but racial background and gender. On the other hand, Blair views the four accused women as gender non-conformists who know their rights and they are ready to fight for their liberation. The film is vital since it adds to the debates of race injustices around the globe and especially against the black community in the United States. The inside story and revelation The film carefully unleashes the events leading to the four girls’ imprisonment with a primary agenda of revealing the faulty in the law systems coupled with how the system works unjustly for the people perceived as superior at the expense of the minority groups. Out in the Night is not just a revelation, but also a kick-starter to reflect and think of the complex issues of racial discrimination and the possible ways out of the issue. Failure and pressure by the court do not bar the girls from telling their side of the story. During the interviews by Blair, the girls are calm, and they bravely believe that their fight for justice will save future victims from racism and injustices. The story hi
