Pervert Park
Regret is the devourer of souls. But regret accompanied by dreadful shame, a constant condemnation applied by society-- this is living hell, a continuous torture that lasts long beyond the crime. The stories of these men and women, caught up in a cycle of abuse and then turning around to abuse-- these are the stories I've heard again and again. Except the people I know don't have a trailer court they are allowed to live in. They aren't allowed to live anywhere. And this is what I've learned-- karma is supposed to be pure justice, an equal give-and-take. Punishment in the name of karma is perpetual, there is no equality.

The Witness
What is the truth behind Kitty Genovese's murder? Or is the problem that so many people think they've found "the truth" only to get the facts wrong? Did 38 people witness the event and decide to do nothing? Is the conscience of the common New Yorker so cold? This doc isn't providing answers. Just a man, Bill Genovese, Kitty's brother, who is asking the questions. A man haunted by questions about her murder that can't be answered. In the end, we find out more about him than what happened that night. That seems appropriate.
