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 a whistleblower from inside Russia's poison program as he attempts to escape, Vladimir Kara-Murza, a prominent political activist who is poisoned twice and now stands trial for treason and his wife Evgenia, and Christo Grozev, the journalist exposing Putin's murder machine as he is told he is under threat and is forced to go on the run himself.
