Review of The Witness (2015) by Khadija S — 22 Jan 2017
Title:The Witness.
Audience: 13 and up.
The Purpose of the Documentary is to figure out what really did happen in the Kitty Genovese case. Did 37 people witness a 27 year old woman get murdered and didn't do anything about it or, did the New York Times reported false information? The main message is that the media can exaggerate and report false information to the public.The prior knowledge of the subject that I had was that there were only two attacks, not three and Winston Moseley murdered Kitty on March 13, 1964. Before watching the documentary, I only knew about what was reported on the news about Kitty and not her personal life.The part of the documentary that I liked the most was towards the end when Billy realizes that Kitty would have wanted him to move on. I would definitely recommend this documentary to a friend.
