The Whistleblower: Movie Analysis

According to several online sites, a whistleblower is defined as a person/persons who may or may not be an employee of a categorical company, firm, or corporation, and/or government entity, and reports, as an insider who assimilates erudition of, the misconducts or illicit activities which they have found occurring within the organization (Investopedia). In the film, "The Whistleblower,” predicated on a true story, is a movie exhibiting the issues of sexual trafficking in Bosnia.
