The programme showcases documentaries commissioned from independent filmmakers around the world. The films focus on stories that receive less international coverage and "people at the margins of society."[1]

Witness was one of the first programmes on Al Jazeera English and has been airing since the channel's inception in November 2006. The primary broadcast windows are Sundays for their half-hour programmes and Wednesdays for their hour-long programmes with repeats appearing throughout the week.[2] It is also available online.

The show has won multiple documentary awards including the Peabody and the International Emmy and been nominated for many others including an Academy Award, One World, Rory Peck Trust and Gierson. The programme team has also served as the creative staff behind other Al Jazeera English series including Viewfinder Latin America (2012-2015) and Viewfinder Asia (2012-2014), Artscape (2009–2014), Wildlife Warzone (2013) and in 2014, Rebel Architecture.

History

Witness premiered in November 2006 when Al Jazeera English launched globally. It was initially presented by Rageh Omaar,[3][4] Fakhry took over briefly as presenter in 2010 for one year.[5]

It is one of the few programmes that makes documentaries available worldwide on all media platforms. The topics covered by the series includes stories of inspiration, empowerment, creativity and a deeper plunge into communities that are otherwise excluded from the global conversation. This includes stories on conflict, the environment, women's rights, the arts, economic equity and social justice. The core of each story is a reflection of how global events affect local communities and the people who live there.
