Biography Crime Documentary Mystery

7.1 / 10

Bill Genovese's decade-long journey to unravel the truth about the mythic death and little-known life of his sister, Kitty, who was reportedly stabbed in front of 38 witnesses and became the face of urban apathy. THE WITNESS begins in 2004 when The Times questions its original story: the number of witnesses, what they observed, the number of attacks. None was more affected by the story than Bill. He vowed not to be like the 38, volunteered for Vietnam, and lost both legs. What if Kitty's mythic story is an urban myth? Breaking his family's half-century of silence, Bill seeks to find the truth confronting the witnesses, the killer, their families and his own. THE WITNESS is about bearing witness, loss and forgiveness, and what we owe each other.

impresionante historia lloré cuando termine de verla porque lo que más me impactó es la indiferencia de las personas para ayudar a alguien y su hermano por buscar respuestas, este documental debería ser premiado y llevado a la pantalla grande, simplemente esta increíble! al final es difícil pero el Perdón lo cura todo! - @Saturday, June 23, 2018 11:58 PM

I learned about this story from studying material from my Psychology class today, and what puzzled me more than anything was that a black man murdered her....not to discriminate, but i thought it would have been a white male...or who knows if he really did it...sometimes authorites make u confess to a crime u didnt do...but im still puzzled to know the truth - @Wednesday, April 5, 2017 8:42 PM

I was only 6 years old went it happened, but I remember adults saying that dozens of people watching her being stabbed and killed in New York and did nothing. That's how I thought it happened, until the recent documentaries and investigations proved otherwise. - @Friday, January 27, 2017 6:23 AM

Absolutely disgusted and horrified that all those people stood back and did nothing. You cant tell me not one of the apartments heard anything. COWARDS!I hope her screams resonated in their sleepless nights for the rest of their miserable lives. Where I come from he would have been beaten to within an inch of his worthless life, let alone come back for a second go. Wtf is THAT about? America you are fucked! - @Wednesday, October 5, 2016 10:04 PM

I saw this documentary in Dallas, Texas. I was not impressed with the Q&A. Unfortunately, I walked out. - @Friday, July 15, 2016 5:48 AM

I saw this documentary today. I also learned here in YouTube, this evening, that her killer died in April 2016 in prison. The documentary is poignant because it demonstrates how a single crime can have ripple effects for fifty years and more, both in the perp's family as well as the victim's. I hope that this documentary helps her brother Bill Genovese to make his peace with his loss. - @Monday, June 27, 2016 4:42 AM
