How does a construction contractor from a tough Brooklyn neighborhood become an impassioned animal activist?

In the award-winning documentary THE WITNESS, Eddie Lama explains how he feared and avoided animals for most of his life, until the love of a kitten opened his heart, inspiring him to rescue abandoned animals, become a vegetarian, and ultimately, to bring his message of compassion to the streets of New York.

With humor and sincerity, Eddie tells the story of his remarkable change in consciousness, sharing along the way some of the shocking realities of the meat and fur industries.

Featuring the song "Angel" by Sarah McLachlan, this is a story of beauty and transcendence in the face of tragedy and despair.

The Witness is the finest directed and edited documentary we have ever seen.  It draws the viewers into the life and soul of Eddie Lama as he goes through a life-changing experience.  It is impossible not to understand the emotional changes took place in Eddie's life, and to feel the pain and suffering of so many animals.

"The Witness,' a unique, indelible 43-minute documentary ... may be the most important and persuasive film about animals ever made. And one that most Americans will not see unless mainstream TV's programmers find the backbone to run it."
~Howard Rosenberg, Los Angeles Times
