Antidote
Gripping… powerful... like a Hollywood thriller, the film has a Michael Mann-like dynamism and pathos.
-- The Guardian
Antidote
What is the cost of speaking truth to power? In Putin’s Russia, it could mean your life. An immersive and chilling documentary, Antidote follows in real time Vladimir Kara-Murza, a whistleblower from inside Russia's poison program, as he attempts to escape. He is a prominent political activist who is poisoned twice and now stands trial for treason. Also profiled is his wife Evgenia and Christo Grozev, the journalist exposing Putin's murder machine. He too is under threat and is forced to flee.
Emmy-winning filmmaker James Jones reveals the human cost of heroism in Antidote, with incredible access and insight into the lives of those fighting for change against a tyrannical regime that will stop at nothing to maintain the status quo.
