What price do you pay for being on Vladimir Putin’s “hit list”? The answer to this troubling question is presented in unsettling fashion in the urgent Antidote, which anchors its riveting narrative on several committed and brave individuals who put their livelihoods on the line in order to expose and disrupt Putin’s murderous tactics. 

James Jones’ intimate and assertive lens follows three individuals on the frontlines of this campaign against repression and violence: a whistleblower from inside Russia’s “poison program” as he attempts to flee the country, a leading political activist who was poisoned twice and is now accused of treason, and a man who leads the charge on revealing Putin’s criminal network and, as a result, is forced to go into hiding himself. 

Anchored by kinetic storytelling and a determined clarity of purpose, Antidote throws into stark relief the deadly consequences and ramifications of Putin’s schemes and fearlessly foregrounds individuals willing to lose it all in the name of justice and accountability.––Jose Rodriguez
