    What shadows everyone, people don't talk about it, people accept it, but the shadow (fact) also has its fluidity! Finding the shadows like this is actually a kind of...

    A documentary that was very different from what I expected, but was moved. It is not so much an investigation record of the pursuit of the truth of the murder as a record of how a younger brother reconciled with the past through the pursuit of his sister's memory. The film touches on many themes: the impact of media narratives on society and the people involved (journalism ethics), the multifaceted nature of people (two sides of a sister and two sides of a killer), and how people deal with...

    #FIFF# I just don't want to forgive, I just don't want to forget, I just want to know the truth, it has affected my life, my family, my emotions, what am I looking for? Attempting to reconcile with it is sometimes really difficult, if not impossible. New York is cold, the world is cold, and people are...

    To treat such a story as a "story" would be a...

    An unsatisfactory truth investigation was enough, at least to prove that the so-called truth can be manipulated, and it also made the dead no longer just a symbol, she once lived vividly in this...

    A very well done documentary. Fifty years after Kitty was killed, her brother's journey to find the truth by visiting witnesses of the year is well documented. This is not just a crime documentary, but a reflection on media...

    The bystander effect, no one cares, may not be the darkest side of human nature, the darkest is the complete loss of hope. The truth may never be found, but the warm hope may be...

    It must be said that the brothers and sisters in this family are really beautiful. In fact, I think this documentary is very real. The truth, witnesses, the media, and the relationships between people we think we are close to are actually too fragile to stand up to scrutiny. The last scene is really painful, it's almost the most shocking film and television expression I've ever...

The Witness quotes

  • William Genovese: If I was going to have more success, Charlie Skoller suggested that I start with the trial transcript. My family couldn't bear to go to the trial in 1964 so I never heard the testimony of the witnesses. Only 5 of the 38 witnesses were called to take the stand.
