 How does a construction contractor from a tough Brooklyn neighborhood become an impassioned animal advocate?
In Tribe of Heart's 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 and 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.
A favorite on the film festival circuit, The Witness has won six Best Documentary awards, a Best Short Film award, and a Best of Festival award.
 “Eddie's story is about changing your life, taking a stand for those who can't and being true to what is right -- whether it's on behalf of animals or any other cause. It's a call to all of us to do something, to make a difference. In a cynical world, that is something we can't be reminded of enough.”
--Alicia Silverstone

“We bring documentary films to the American viewer that extend far beyond the narrow scope of the popular media. The Witness is one of those films, made with the courage and commitment to speak on behalf of those who have no voice. The strength of the force to banish this provocative film is the very reason we chose to broadcast it.”
--Toni Whiteman
Producer, Link TV
