Antidote
Powerful documentary on whistleblowers and investigative journalism targeting Putin's Russia.
In Putin's Russia, criticising the government can mean a painful death. The film follows a whistleblower who revealed information about the Russian nerve agent program, a dissident who was poisoned repeatedly and is now fighting to be released from prison, and a journalist who exposed countless Russian agents. Now his own life is in danger.
“From its very first moments, Antidote unspools like a propulsive thriller. Director James Jones’ galvanizing documentary moves at a fast speed to tell its high-stakes story about Vladimir Putin’s Russia, contemporary investigative journalism and the people who put their lives in jeopardy" - Variety
