The Salisbury Poisonings: A Spy Next Door

The Salisbury Poisonings: A Spy Next Door examines the 2018 chemical weapon attack on British soil that sparked a global diplomatic crisis and exposed the hidden mechanics of modern state-sponsored espionage. It begins when former Russian intelligence officer Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia collapse on a park bench in the cathedral city of Salisbury. The film charts how this local incident exploded into an international showdown, revealing the escalating shadow conflict between Russia and the West.

Featuring rare, in-depth interviews with senior UK officials who led the response, including former Prime Minister Theresa May, Home Secretary Amber Rudd, and MI6 leadership, the film brings audiences inside a shadowy conflict normally kept from public view. The film also features testimony from first responders and the people of Salisbury, alongside exclusive scenes with investigative journalist Christo Grozev, whose groundbreaking investigative work was previously featured in the Academy Award winning CNN Film Navalny.

This feature documentary has its World Premiere at CPH:DOX in March 2026, its UK Premiere at Sheffield Doc Fest in June 2026, and its North American Premiere at DC:DOX in June 2026. The film is distributed by CNN Films and Propagate Content.
