The Whistleblower (2010)
GREAT! Movies: Sunday 4th June at 9pm
The Whistleblower is a gripping thriller starring Rachel Weisz, David Strathairn, Benedict Cumberbatch, Monica Bellucci, and Vanessa Redgrave.
Inspired by actual events, the thriller tells the story of Kathryn Bolkovac, a Nebraska cop who is thrust into the gravelly snake pit of UN regulated Bosnia. She works as part of a private corporate army, training Bosnian police to restore order to the war-torn country.
As she begins to get the lay of the land in her new environment, she starts to see signs of a terrible underground industry whose patrons are not only from within the corporation but from within the United Nations as well.
After finding a woman who has escaped from a human trafficker selling sex slaves to hidden brothels in the area, Kathryn begins to see how expansive an industry it has become in the years following the war.
As she gathers more and more evidence, she discovers the last thing she ever expected, that there is no way for the corporate army and UN officers to be held accountable for their actions.
