Answering the question of how a construction contractor from a tough Brooklyn neighborhood becomes an impassioned animal advocate, in the award-winning documentary THE WITNESS, Eddie Lama explains how he feared and avoided animals for most of his life, until the love of a kitten opened his heart, inspiring him to rescue abandoned animals and bring his message of compassion to the streets of New York. With humor and sincerity, Eddie tells the story of his remarkable change in consciousness.  You can watch a preview below, and see the entire film at the Tribe of Heart website
