‘Orange is the New Black‘s Samira Wiley finds herself in dark psychological territory in her latest project this year.

Its name? ’37‘, a harrowing tale based on the true story of one Kitty Genovese who was brutally murdered in front of neighbours who did nothing to intervene as she was being stabbed to death.

Their refusal to intervene prompted psychologists to coin ‘The Genovese Syndrome‘, also known as the bystander effect.

Why the movie is called ’37’? It’s the number of witnesses who observed the murder and said and did nothing to stop it.
