'Killer Lesbians' or Victims?

The Brian Lehrer Show | Jun 16, 2014

The Post gave the story the headline "Attack of the Killer Lesbians" but for Renata Hill and her friends, it was a case of self-defense against anti-gay street harassment. She is joined by another person featured in the film, Terrain Dandridge, and the producer and director Blair Dorosh-Walther to talk about the documentary "Out in the Night," featured in this week’s Human Rights Watch Film Festival.

→ "Out in the Night" airs Wednesday and Friday as part of the Human Rights Watch Film Festival.
