The Witness

The Witness (2023) is a Russian war drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by David Dadunashvili and starring Karen Badalov. Belgian violinist Daniel Cohen arrives in Kyiv in late February 2022 for a concert tour — a man who calls himself a citizen of the world and means it.

That belief is put to the test fast. Events pull him out of the capital and into the small village of Semidveri, where he sees things that shatter his assumptions about good and justice. Staying alive is one problem; getting the truth out is another, and it becomes his entire purpose. The film's tagline: "Truth is stronger than fear." Also starring Yulia Afanasyeva, Alexander Dyachenko, and Serafima Nizovskaya. Stream The Witness (2023) online on iFILM.
