‘Confession’ Premieres Tonight On The Daily Wire. Here’s How To Watch Live.

After months of anticipation, “Confession,” the new historical drama written by Ben Shapiro, premieres tonight exclusively on The Daily Wire.

The premiere night festivities begin at 7:00 p.m. ET with a free, 30-minute live pre-show featuring behind the scenes footage and exclusive interviews with Shapiro, along with stars Rob Lowe, James Franco, and more. The pre-show will be available to anyone with a free Daily Wire account at dailywire.com. The film premiere will follow, with a Daily Wire membership required to watch.

For viewers who have been following the development of “Confession,” tonight marks the culmination of a project that brings a dark chapter of Soviet history to the screen while asking questions about faith, truth, and courage.

Set in Stalin’s Moscow in 1938, “Confession” follows Alexei, a disillusioned former literature professor who finds himself arrested and taken to the infamous Lubyanka Prison.

His interrogator is no stranger. Vladimir, a brilliant but brutal figure, was once Alexei’s student. Now, the two men find themselves on opposite sides of a terrifying power struggle, with Vladimir wielding the authority of the Soviet state and Alexei forced to confront the consequences of his beliefs.

The film explores the collision between individual conscience and a regime determined to control not only what people do, but what they believe.

“Confession” features an impressive ensemble cast of Academy Award nominees led by Lowe and Franco, alongside Jennifer Jason Leigh, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Emile Hirsch, Dean Norris, Richard Brake, Brad Dourif, Colin Bates, and Nick Nolte.

The film, which was an Official Selection at the 2026 Warsaw International Film Festival, was directed by Václav Marhoul, a Venice Lion nominee whose previous work has earned international recognition.

For Shapiro, “Confession” is about the present and future as much as it is about the past. 

“I wrote Confession because I think we, as a whole, in the West have largely forgotten what matters,” Shapiro said. “Where do our values come from? What are we willing to sacrifice for them? And what makes life meaningful, even in the face of cruelty and suffering? Those questions become very personal in the film.”

Don’t miss the premiere broadcast on Wednesday, November 11, at 7:00 p.m. ET, exclusively on The Daily Wire. Not a member yet? Join at get.dailywire.com/confession to watch “Confession” tonight.
