GRITtv: Got Docs? Blair Doroshwalther's 'The Fire This Time'

In the last few weeks, we've looked at both the fortieth anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion, sparking the modern gay liberation movement, and the NAACP's centennial, marking a hundred years as one of the central civil rights organizations of the Afro-American struggle for equality. Every week on GRITtv, we look at an up-and -coming documentary and this week's film is square in the intersection of those two struggles. New filmmaker Blair Doroshwalther's "The Fire This Time" examines the ongoing cases of the New Jersey Seven, seven queer women of color who's response to street harassment created a media firestorm and led to prison sentences that many feel have more to do with issues of sexual orientation, race, and class, than of how they defended themselves against a jerk on the street.
