The Whistleblower
(2011)
Directed by Larysa
Kondracki this film stars Rachel Weisz, Vanessa Redgrave, Benedict
Cumberbatch and David Strathairn. An American police woman working as
part of a UN peace keeping force in Bosnia in 1999 fights against sex
trafficking.
Based on real events
this film does appear to keep things realistic although it does not
mention a previous case of whistle blowing that happened previously.
What the film does well is keep a good level of tension as events
unfold and has good performances from the cast. No doubt the film
raises serious questions about the behaviour of defence contractors
supplying peace keepers that appear to have gone unanswered since the
events the film is based on.
4/5
