7.0 / 10 · TMDB

Dr. Grigory Rodchenkov, director of Moscow's anti-doping laboratory, decides to reveal the truth about the state-sponsored doping system in Russian sports. His revelations to American documentary filmmaker Bryan Fogel trigger a chain reaction of international scandals, death threats, and a desperate escape from the country. The 2017 documentary thriller transforms a personal story of betrayal and fear into a global political investigation. The camera captures the unexpected twist when Fogel, who planned an experiment with doping, finds himself at the center of a real spy plot. Rodchenkov's evidence leads to Russia's ban from the Olympics, while his own life hangs in the balance.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Bryan Fogel constructs the narrative as a personal video diary, where the camera becomes the only confidant. He films everything from mundane details to panicked calls, creating an effect of total immersion in paranoia.

Those who appreciate watching a story spiral from a personal experiment into an international conspiracy will find the escalation breathtaking. What lingers is the chilling sense of having witnessed a real-time political earthquake. — MovieFinder Editorial
