As part of the DocPoint Documentary Film Festival in Helsinki, a wide range of important and compelling films will be screened.
Antidote is a film about people who oppose Vladimir Putin’s violent regime despite threats, repression, and the murder of political opponents.
At the center of the film is the escape of a whistleblower involved in the development of poisons intended to eliminate the opposition, as well as the stories of journalist Christo Grozev and politician Vladimir Kara-Murza, both of whom became targets of persecution.
