The Living Truth (Živa istina), also released as Real Truth, is a 1972 Yugoslav film directed and written by Tomislav Radić, starring Božidarka Frajt.

Radić's directorial debut, a very low-budget cinéma vérité-style film about the everyday life of a struggling actress was met with critical acclaim and is considered one of the best Croatian films of the 1970s. It started the career of Božidarka Frajt, whose performance won the Golden Arena for Best Actress at the 1972 Pula Film Festival.
