Review of The Witness (2015) by Andi%20 C — 21 Jan 2018

The Witness documentary demands the attention of an audience seeking to further their understanding of the Genovese homicide, grasp the danger of false media output, and master the art of questioning the news.

This particular documentary was created with the intention to deliver the truth of Kitty Genovese, and offer comfort to brother Bill Genovese. Before viewing The Witness, I had no prior knowledge of the subject, and had never heard of the grave incident.

I expected a plain explanation of the true sequence of events that occurred on that fateful Queens, New York night in 1964. Instead I was presented with an authentically filmed and brilliantly crafted walk-through of Kitty's life and Bill's detailed investigation, including snippets of Winston Moseley's parole appeals.

I most enjoyed the raw interview footage and underlying message of the production, and strongly recommend this to friends in hopes to inspire them too to always "question everything".
