| Summary |
Content Media presents the captivating crime documentary feature The Witness, a compelling chronicle of the story behind one of America's most infamous murder cases - the death of Catherine "Kitty" Genovese. In screenwriter James Solomon's decade-in-the-making directorial debut, The Witness explores the death of "Kitty", a young woman whose name became a symbol of urban apathy after she was stabbed to death more than 50 years ago on a New York City street, while 38 witnesses did nothing. The film follows the efforts of her brother, Bill, as he looks to uncover the truth buried beneath the story. In the process, he makes new discoveries about the crime that transformed his life, condemned a city and defined an era. Following the world premiere of The Witness at the New York Film Festival, The Hollywood Reporter's review called it a "gut-wrenching doc [that] is as deeply moving as it is enlightening ... few films feel as cathartic." |
