“A decade-in-the-making, “Witness” is riveting and essential viewing, a taut mix of interviews, archival news footage and FBI audio and video recordings. It tells a tale that’s at once global and local, and does so with a rare, unforced intimacy, showing viewers the complicated individuals behind the headlines.” – Sara Foss, AlbanyProper.com

BE THE MEDIA WORKSHOP: Sanctuary for Independent Media

Join us for a Be The Media! workshop with Witness director Masood Haque as he breaks down the process of creating this film following the Aref-Hossain “sting” case in Albany from 2003-2004. Witness follows the defendants, Yassin Aref and Mohammed Hossain, in their memories of the events leading up to their arrest and subsequent years.  Haque will talk about the challenges and sacrifices that had to be made to create this film, giving voice to individuals and a community that has been othered, and how he used intimate settings to humanize the subjects.
