Official Teaser | Comrade Yuri: A KGB Confession
synopsis :
Comrade Yuri is an unsettling journey through the 20th century, following the life of former KGB propagandist Yuri Bezmenov.
Featuring gripping accounts and never-before-seen footage, the film follows Bezmenov's transformation from loyal Soviet operative to a defector who risked everything to warn the world about ideological subversion.
Ignored and ridiculed for decades, his terrifying warnings became eerily prophetic in today’s cultural climate, with the very threats he foretold now unfolding before our eyes.
From Uncle Tom director Justin Malone comes the first cinematic portrait of Yuri Bezmenov’s life and legacy— uncovering the deceptive tactics used to manipulate minds and destabilize societies. Comrade Yuri is a haunting exploration of propaganda, psychological and spiritual warfare, and one man's courageous battle for truth.
