In 1637, the British colonies of Connecticut and Massachusetts attacked the Pequot fort at Mystic, killing approximately 600 Pequot natives. The Witness, a 30-minute, 70-mm film, graphically dramatizes the events surrounding the Pequot War. In this giant screen film, experience the tragedy of the Pequot War through the eyes of Wampishe, a Pequot elder who survived the burning of the Mystic fort as a young boy. Wampishe recounts the tragic events of war to his grandson and urges him to keep the story alive by telling it to his own children and grandchildren.
