Review of The Witness (2015) by Nila%20 H — 21 Jan 2018
The Witness is a documentary by James Soloman that follows Bill Genovese and his family through their recollection of the murder of Kitty Genovese (Bill Genovese's older sister.) The documentary mostly follow Bill as he struggles to figure out the truth behind his sisters death. He goes through countless interviews and old documents in order to piece together the past; in order to find peace for himself and his family.
This documentary is not for the faint of heart. It takes you through the life of Kitty Genovese by examining everyone know to have touched her life and her case. Soloman and Genovese do a breathtaking job of combining past and present in order to show us the fullest and truest version of Kitty Genoveses story. By the end of the documentary, Soloman will have you on the verge of tears with how remarkably put together the film is.
Highly recommend, especially if you are interested in serious documentaries that incorporate both emotion and creativity.
