FRIDAY 25
When Brooklyn’s oldest black gay bar, the Starlite Lounge, is faced with eviction in We Came To Sweat: The Legend of Starlite , the community decides to fight back. Will they be able to save this pre-Stonewall safe haven? Or is gentrification unstoppable? Kate Kunath and Sasha Wortzel’s timely portrait of a community banding together to preserve their culture and history is a stirring must-see.
