The Mystery of Anthrax Island background

The Mystery of Anthrax Island

On a polluted island, a group of Scottish activists' radical efforts to clean up the environment inadvertently spark a deadly anthrax outbreak, putting the entire community at risk.

During World War II, government scientists from Porton Down attempted to weaponize anthrax, testing a deadly strain on Gruinard Island, an uninhabited site off Scotland's coast. The experiment proved disastrous, and the island became known as the "Island of Death" or "Anthrax Island".
