GOK

GOK (2023) — a Kazakh action film directed by Olzhas Bayalbayev — is available to watch online on iFILM. Zhan Baizhanbayev and Sergej Ufimcev lead a cast caught up in a deal to sell a major Kazakhstani mining and processing plant to Chinese investors. Everyone in the chain gets a cut: the oligarchs, the clerks, the judges.

One official starts asking the wrong questions. Why hand over a strategic industrial asset? What is the country actually worth? Those questions turn out to be more dangerous than any fistfight.

A blunt industrial-corruption thriller from Kazakhstan, 98 minutes with no room for sentiment. Stream GOK online on iFILM.
