Not one person called the police.” Forty years later, her brother Bill, who was 16 at the time of his sister’s death, decides to find the truth buried beneath the story. In the process, he uncovers a lie that transformed his life, condemned a city, and defined an era. Both a probing investigation into an iconic crime and a devastating look at the effect Kitty’s murder had on those who loved her, The Witness illuminates how much stories shape the way we see ourselves and the world around us, and how important it is that those stories are built not only on facts, but on truths. It is a film that brings healing to the family who lost so much that cold March day in Kew Gardens, and asks us all: what do we owe each other? Director’s Statement Like many New Yorkers, I grew up familiar with the name, “Kitty Genovese”, and the infamous story of her death: 38 neighbors watched a young woman being repeatedly stabbed to death, as if in an amphitheater, while none called the police.

    NEWS FROM THE NEW YORK PRESS CLUB www.nypressclub.org | @NYPressClub contact: Debra Caruso, DJC Communications 212.971.9708 [email protected] BLOOMBERG NEWS EXPOSE OF KUSHNER REAL ESTATE HOLDINGS WINS GOLD KEYBOARD IN 2018 NEW YORK PRESS CLUB JOURNALISM AWARDS "Unmasking the Kushner Real Estate Empire" by Bloomberg News is the grand-prize winner of the New York Press Club's 2018 Gold Keyboard. The NYPC's highest award singles out a pair of reporters who peeled back the layers to reveal real estate deals involving the Kushner family that stretched across the world and into the White House and that are now the subject of federal investigations. An additional 76 winners in 29 categories were selected from almost 500 entries submitted by TV, radio, newspapers, websites, magazines and newswires in New York City and around the U.S. Awards will be presented at the Club’s annual dinner, Monday, June 4, 2018 at The Water Club in Manhattan, 7 p.m. A special note this year: Washington Post editor-in-chief Martin Baron will receive the NYPC’s first non-contested award. The “Gabe Pressman Truth to Power Award” recognizes our friend, colleague and paragon – WNBC’s Gabe Pressman, who died last June – for his seven decades of reporting news and defending the First Amendment and media freedoms. “Marty Baron and Gabe Pressman are from different journalism eras but both share an indisputable passion for our craft and an unquenchable drive to present the truth and challenge corrupt power,” said NY Press Club president Steve Scott. Scott added that the high number of entries across all news media platforms attests to the continued good health of journalism despite challenges from some about the accuracy and legitimacy of professional journalists.

  • Course Descriptions
    2020 Fall Semester – Course Descriptions TUESDAY Turning a Story into a Book and Film: How a Cave Explorer Got the Word Out About Holocaust Survivors’ Hiding Place Nearly two decades ago, Chris Nicola discovered that five Jewish families spent nearly a year and a half in the pitch-black caves to escape the Nazis, the longest uninterrupted underground survival in recorded human history. He went back with the remaining survivors 65 years later to make a documentary about this amazing experience. Chris returns to CL&L to describe the behind-the-scenes story of his book, The Secret of Priest's Grotto, and his documentary, No Place on Earth. He’ll address such questions as: How do you make a movie that nobody wants to have made? How do you tell the story about people who want nothing to do with you and are adamant that the story is never told, when you believe it’s important for the world to hear their story? How do you win their trust when they see you as the wrong age, wrong religion, and as an outsider? How do you get people to open up about memories they repressed for decades? How do you find the true story when they tell different stories as a group and as individuals? How do you connect your audiences and your subjects, when they are of different generations and cultures? How do you raise enough money to make a documentary? How do you shoot a film in remote areas of the world? Perhaps most importantly, how did going back after so many years personally affect four of the original survivors and their storyteller? Tue 10:30-11:45a Sept 22 1 session Chris Nicola, participated, organized and lead caving expeditions in countries around the world.
