A 20 minute super 8 film taken by Williams and Joegh Bullock the night of the White Night Riots. Though the actual riot was not recorded, its aftermath of the long procession of police cars driving up Market Street to the Castro and scenes of the Elephant Walk Police Riot are documented. The White Night riots were a series of events sparked by an announcement of the lenient sentencing of Dan White for the assassinations of San Francisco Mayor George Moscone and Harvey Milk, a member of the city's Board of Supervisors and an openly gay elected official.
