Draft:The Witness (2024 film)

  • Comment: IMDb, MUBI, e.t.c are not reliable sources. I don't think the film is notable per WP:NFF. Maybe you give it time to gather reviews. Also, I think it's known as "Shahid" per Variety because I can't find any for The Witness (2024). Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 14:34, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
