In Putin’s Russia, telling the truth can cost you your life. Antidote follows the personal stories of courageous citizens who dared to defy the Kremlin’s tyranny, exposing the devastating human toll of resisting a regime that stops at nothing. The film bears witness to a whistleblower on the run, a political activist poisoned twice, and an investigative journalist threatened after uncovering Putin’s killing machine, chilling revelations of how the regime wields an iron fist to silence dissent and plunge the country into a state of perpetual terror.
