Witness Tease
Witness Juarez, Nov 5, 9pm
From executive producers Michael Mann and David Frankham
Drug trafficking, poverty, gang violence, corruption and ethnic warfare have created some of the most dangerous hot spots on Earth. WITNESS follows our current generation of photojournalists into these conflict zones in Mexico, Libya, Brazil and South Sudan. In the four-part series, war photographers carry us into the heart of the human drama of the people in the action on the ground. We see what compels the photojournalist and experience why, when everyone else seeks cover, the photojournalist stands and moves closer.
Executive produced by writer-director Michael Mann (“The Insider,” “Ali,” “Heat,” HBO’s “Luck”) and acclaimed commercial and documentary director David Frankham, WITNESS is not a historical summary or analysis. It does not present the sides of an issue from an objective perspective. WITNESS is the exact opposite. It is personal experience. It is an immersion into the human drama on the ground of people caught in the thick of it. WITNESS dives into the anomalies, the humor, the tragedy, the chaos, the exultation. It struggles to capture – as does the photographer – a small piece of the truth in a moment.
