A stunning and immersive look at the cost of opposing Russian President Vladimir Putin.
FRONTLINE “Antidote” airs Tuesday, May 6 at 10 p.m. on WXXI-TV and streaming live on the WXXI app.
Antidote chronicles the lives of Christo Grozev, a Bulgarian investigative journalist whose reporting has exposed hundreds of Russian spies, assassins, and those involved in the poisoning of opposition leader Alexei Navalny; and Evgenia Kara-Murza, the wife of prominent political activist Vladimir Kara-Murza, who was poisoned twice and sentenced to 25 years in a Russian prison.
The feature documentary lays bare the grave consequences that come with speaking out against the Putin regime, revealing the threats Grozev, Kara-Murza and their families face as they seek to expose the actions of the Kremlin to the world.
