Antidote

Synopsis

A deeply immersed and urgent film that reveals the cost of standing up to Vladimir Putin and telling the truth about modern Russia. It follows a whistleblower from inside Russia's poison programme as he attempts to escape, a prominent political activist who is poisoned twice and now stands trial for treason, and the man exposing Putin's murder machine as he is forced to go on the run himself.
