About The Witness
A brother's journey to unravel the truth about the mythic death and little known life of Kitty Genovese, who was reportedly murdered in front of 38 witnesses and has become the face of urban apathy.
Directed by James Solomon, The Witness leans on a strong ensemble — William Genovese, Shannon Beeby, Kitty Genovese — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2015.
