SYNOPSIS: Ziggy is an 11-year-old boy living on the island of Malta with an overactive imagination and the habit of telling wild lies.  But when he sees the brutal assassination of a visiting African president by two rogue policemen, nobody will believe his story.  Can Ziggy convince anybody that he is telling the truth before the psychotic cops are able to hunt down and murder the only Eyewitness?

EDITORIAL REVIEW:  Our collection of Mark Lester films is growing.  Eventually we will carry pretty much every Lester film he appeared in, so why not either start yours today or continue to add to it by picking up this classic and obscure little gem.  It seems as if everyone is out to get young Ziggy in this bizarre flick from the UK.  The story revolves around Ziggy and his over active imagination, where sometimes he has been accused of crying wolf one too many times.  After the assassination Ziggy witnesses, he is forced to flee for his life, leaving his older sister, Pippa, and her new boyfriend Tom Jones (not the Tom Jones), wondering whether he is dead or alive!  Strange camera angles and the Director of Photography's use of different lenses really capture the intense moments in some scenes.  Mark doesn't do his best work in Eyewitness (actually, it's a little cheesy in spots), but as always...if you're a fan (and there are many Lester fans amongst our customers), then it's highly recommended.  And the Costume Designer should have been a little more aware of her surroundings because Lester appeared in most of the movie with his zipper half down.  Ahhh, low budget filmmaking!
