Nottingham Contemporary
Free event
Join Nottingham Contemporary for a relaxed, free community event as part of International Bystander Awareness Day (IBAD). An event supporting community learning about the impact of the bystander effect and how people can safely step in and help.
Running order
Bill Genovese revisits the murder of his sister, Kitty Genovese, and the long‑held narrative that many people witnessed her attack but didn't act. The film unpacks that narrative and explores how the idea of bystander behaviour became central to social psychology.
Content Warning: This film includes references to real-life murder, rape, violent crime and trauma.
Explore how the murder of Kitty Genovese became central to the idea of the bystander effect, and how The Witness challenges the long-held claim that dozens of people watched and did nothing.
The discussion will examine:
