In May 2023, police arrested Toronto man Kenneth Law and accused him of operating one of the deadliest online enterprises in modern history. Authorities alleged that Law had mailed 1,209 packages of lethal poison to individuals in 41 countries, many of whom were vulnerable people struggling with suicidal ideation. Filmed over three years, from Law’s arrest to his guilty plea in May 2026 to 14 counts of aiding suicide, THE POISON SELLER follows the case as it evolves from an international criminal investigation into a profound moral and legal reckoning. Featuring reporting from The Globe and Mail, never-before-heard excerpts from a telephone conversation with Law, and families searching for answers and justice, the film examines urgent questions about accountability, online regulation and what justice looks like when death itself can be delivered by mail.
