*"We Came to Sweat" is a feature-length documentary directed by Kate Kunath and Sasha Wortzel about the eviction and historical erasure of the oldest Black owned gay bar in Brooklyn. The film explores the intersections of race, sexuality, and gentrification through the documentation of a historic and cultural institution on the verge of disappearance.
