In 1971, a Soviet ship passed through a mysterious brown cloud near Vozrozhdeniya Island in the Aral Sea, triggering a deadly smallpox outbreak. The USSR covered it up—but it was later traced back to Aralsk-7, a top-secret Soviet bioweapons lab.
This documentary explores how weaponized smallpox, anthrax, and plague were developed in violation of international law—and how close the world came to catastrophe.
Based on declassified files and testimony from Soviet defector Ken Alibek.
