One of Ours

Witness explores the personal, political, and cultural ramifications of going viral. Directors Yasmine Mathurin, Amar Wala, and Carol Nguyen follow people who chose to document what they saw, whether in rage, fear, or amusement, and reflect on the staggering but fleeting attention that changed their lives. This series of six short episodes tells the stories that happened after the stories we heard about.

This short film is a reflective portrait of Tonya Williams, shaped through her encounter with her own archives. As she revisits these materials, Tonya recounts the memories that have anchored her journey.
