Witness (1985)
Directed by Peter Weir, written by William Kelley, Earl W. Wallace, and Pamela Wallace
Capsule review by Darrel Manson: Peter Wier often tells stories in which someone is put in an environment
that is foreign to them. In Witness, a hardened Philadelphia police officer protecting
a young witness to a murder must hide out in an Amish comunity. His
tendency to violence meets a counterpoint in the faith of the community.
They witness the Amish bear both teach him new ways and ultimately saves
him from the violence that encompasses him. Additional
