| CONTENT: After enduring significant personal setbacks, Kathryn (Academy Award®-winner Rachel Weisz) accepts a well-paying UN peacekeeping job, courtesy of a private military contractor. She arrives in post-war Bosnia expecting a harmonized international effort, but is greeted with disorder and irresponsibility. UN officers behave like immature college students, Bosnian police are uncooperative and there is rampant sexism, both among the local population and in the hallways of the UN. When a brutally injured young woman lands in the UN’s care, Kathryn unearths a terrible underworld of sex trafficking and traces the path of criminality to a shocking source. |

| REVIEW: |
|
| The Whistleblower is a depressingly fascinating real-life story, and is a film that will stir emotions and focus attention (once again) on an important subject. It is efficiently directed by Larysa Kondracki, who – perhaps appropriately – lets the real fact tell the story rather than resorting to more simplistic movie devices. There are no gun battles or fist fights…merely one woman trying to do what is right. (ScreenDaily) |
