Synopsis by Perry Seibert
This documentary tells the story of a handful of whistleblowers who saw corruption happening in their government, and exposed the situation to the media. Though people who perform this service are supposed to be protected by the law, the filmmakers crystallize how these brave souls have faced numerous unexpected hindrances for doing what they believed was the right thing.
