Gender Reel Houston Presents: Southwest of Salem

Friday, November 17, 2017 @ 6:30 pm - 9:30 pm

Gender Reel Houston & Senorita Cinema present:
“Southwest of Salem: The Story of the San Antonio Four”

A documentary that follows four Latina lesbians who were wrongfully convicted of gang rape against two young girls. Targeted because of their sexualities and gender expression during the Satanic Panic witchhunt era of the 80s and 90s, they fight against mythology, homophobia, and prosecutorial fervor in their struggle for exoneration in this riveting true crime tale.

“If people only knew how little truth and justice had to do with the way the legal system works, they’d probably amass at courthouses with lighted torches.”
