In a world where facts are manipulated and fear is currency, the truth becomes dangerous. As a new authoritarian government tightens its grip on Russia, Erika Sheffer’s VLADIMIR follows an independent journalist who uncovers a story that could expose the truth behind a nation in transition. But when every headline comes with consequences and every source becomes a target, she must decide how much she’s willing to sacrifice for the story.
VLADIMIR is a gripping political thriller about what happens when silence becomes complicity.
