What is the cost of speaking truth to power in Putin’s Russia? This gripping and immersive documentary follows whistleblowers, activists, and journalists risking everything to expose a deadly regime. As political dissident Vladimir Kara-Murza survives two poisonings and faces trial for treason, his wife Evgenia fights for his freedom. Meanwhile, investigative journalist Christo Grozev uncovers state-sanctioned assassinations and is forced into hiding. With unprecedented access, Emmy-winning and BAFTA-nominated director James Jones reveals the harrowing personal toll of standing up to authoritarianism.
