Putin’s Witnesses

Putin’s Witnesses

21st TDF: Greek Premiere

In politics, as in life, there is no creation ex nihilo, and Vladimir Putin’s rise to power is no exception. A documentary that goes back to New Year’s Eve 1999, when Russia was acquainted with its new President. Since then, nothing seems to have really changed. Neither Putin’s reign nor the citizen’s political indifference, which has always fueled all kinds of tyranny.
