THE WITNESS: Endorsements
DR. TOM RAFFIN, Prof. of Medicine
"A compelling and novel film, crafted with sensitivity, revealing through the transformation of an American working man unacceptable cruelty to animals. This is a film for all Americans."
—Dr. Tom Raffin, Stanford University Medical Ethics Committee Member, and Michele Raffin, Author
SUSAN McELROY, Author
"You could perhaps call THE WITNESS a story about a man and a cat. Or maybe you could say it is really a story about advocacy. Or about what lurks behind the doors of the fur industry.
"All these descriptions fall painfully short of the richness contained in this remarkable documentary. For me, THE WITNESS is a mythic story of relationship -- about how the honest and simple affection of a tiny cat grows one man's heart so big that it spills its compassion all over the city of New York.
"After seeing The Witness, you will never again doubt the magic of relationship -- human to human, or human to animal. There is no greater power on earth."
—Susan McElroy
Author of NY Times Bestseller
Animals as Teachers and Healers
“I highly recommend the use of The Witness in secondary school classrooms. It can be used as a tool to increase knowledge and broaden understanding of the full spectrum of human attitudes and subsequent behaviors exhibited toward animals. It is an impressive documentary and we strongly endorse it.”
—Sheila Schwartz, Ed.D
Chairperson,

CALIFORNIA TEACHERS ASSOCIATION
"THE WITNESS provides a catalyst for emphasizing the importance of relationships and the value of all life -- human and non-human animal alike. Classrooms everywhere, in and outside the schoolhouse, need to pay close attention to the message presented by Eddie Lama. His wisdom is simple, yet poignant, as he shows that nothing is more powerful than an act with a purpose and no lesson is more important than one filled with compassion.
"I encourage all teachers to watch this film and share it with their students. Together, you have the power and the wherewithal to bring about a new vision for change that can result in a new compassion and concern for all of life. THE WITNESS shows us that it can be done. It's up to us to take the challenge."
