On 13 March 1964 Kitty Genovese was murdered in Queens, in New York. Kitty was attacked in the early hours of the morning outside her apartment block. It was reported at the time that dozens of neighbours had witnessed that attack but had done nothing to help, and her story led to the identification of a new sociological theory, the bystander effect. Kitty's brother, Bill Genovese, was sixteen back then. He set out to find out what actually happened that night. The documentary about the case is called The Witness. (Picture: Kitty Genovese.
