A deeply immersed and urgent film that reveals the cost of standing up to Vladimir Putin and telling the truth about modern Russia. We follow a whistleblower from inside Russia's poison program 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.

Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter The ironically titled Antidote provides yet another disturbing reminder of the evils of the current Russian regime. Mar 18, 2025 Full Review Jonathan Romney Financial Times Antidote makes cogent, compelling use of a narratively driven investigative format. Grozev’s unswayed commitment to unearthing hidden truths would be awe-inspiring even without the perils involved. Rated: 4/5 Mar 18, 2025 Full Review Wendy Ide Observer (UK) Antidote -- essential viewing for anyone with half an eye on the current geopolitical landscape -- couldn’t be more timely. Rated: 4/5 Mar 17, 2025 Full Review Christopher Llewellyn Reed Film Festival Today We gain a real appreciation for the bravery of everyone involved and the bullying cowardice of a dictator who would prefer to eliminate foes rather than answer to the issues they raise. Rated: 4/5 Jun 17, 2024 Full Review Mike McGranaghan Aisle Seat I doubt I’ll see a better or more important documentary this year than Antidote. Every single second is absolutely riveting.
