One of Los Angeles most underground nightlife spots which has served as a haven for Black gay men and women has been documented in this fascinating film from director C. Fitz.
“Marking the second documentary from woman filmmaker C. Fitz, JEWEL’S CATCH ONE explores the legacy of America’s oldest Black-owned disco club as well as the life of businesswoman and activist, Jewel Thais-Williams, who provided safe spaces for LGBTQ, Black and AIDS impacted communities in Los Angeles for four decades.
