Bystander
(32 minutes) USA
Director/Producer: John Reilly

Description:
Why have there been so many bystanders to genocide and war crimes? Bystander portrays three individuals who intervened to thwart the mass murder of innocent victims as the crimes were unfolding, and frames these portraits with riveting psychological experiments that demonstrate the scarcity of moral courage.

John Reilly graduated from New York University's M.F.A. program in writing in 2003. This is his first documentary.
