One of The Best Documentaries...

 that I've seen so far, especially about crime stuff.

The Witness looks behind what we thought we knew about  Kitty Genovese, her murder and the narrative about city-dwelling apathy that your Bohemian Crip took from journalism school.

There is a disability connection as well, since reaction to the murder led Kitty's young brother Bill to sacrifice his legs in Vietnam.(Watching Bill fight his way through gravel and such, while not the focus on the story, created a uniquely intimate viewing experience because I know how that feels.)
