The Whistleblower (1:52) 2010

This is one tough movie to watch. Based on true events, Rachel Weisz portrays  a former Nebraska policewoman turned Bosnian peacekeeper. Kathy applies for a job overseas in order to make good money so she can move nearer to her teenage daughter. Once she arrives in Bosnia, Kathy job is to stop the exploitation of young women who are trafficked for sex. As Kathy encounters the women, who have been brutalized physically and emotionally, she encounters an even  darker side of the underbelly of sex trafficking - private contractors and diplomats are involved in the sex trade. A very lucrative business, many are invested in supressing information Kathy has uncovered. The Whistleblower is a good movie but one that made me a little sick to my stomach. There are several scenes where the women are being beaten and raped and it is extremely hard to watch. Kudos to the filmmakers for bringing attention to this international injustice.
