The Witness short film review
The Witness, a short indie fiction film directed by Troy Ribeiro, is a hauntingly quiet exploration of the heavy burden of memory and the corrosive nature of long-held secrets. Rather than relying on grand cinematic gestures, Ribeiro focuses on the internal landscape of a man nearing the end of his life, turning a simple domestic scene into a profound moral dilemma.

PIND DAAN, the short film takes you on a roller coaster ride of a cop who also has a human side. At times it is certainly difficult to erase the memories of certain incidents that have happened in one's childhood.
