Frontline Acquires ‘Antidote’ Documentary Thriller On Investigative Journalist Caught In Kremlin Crosshairs

Frontline has acquired U.S. broadcast rights to 'Antidote,' a documentary on investigative journalist Christo Grozev.

While that work earned him the sobriquet “rock star investigative journalist,” it didn’t endear Grozev to Russia authorities who slapped him on a “most wanted” list in 2023 and allegedly put a network of international spies on his tail with instructions to kidnap or kill him. “The feature documentary lays bare the grave consequences that come with speaking out against the Putin regime,” notes a release, “revealing the threats Grozev, Kara-Murza and their families face as they seek to expose the actions of the Kremlin to the world.” Journalist Christo Grozev (center) participates in a panel discussion at CPH:DOX with moderator Sameer Padania (left) and SVT’s Axel Arnö Matthew Carey
