Transcription

Synopsis

War on Whistleblowers highlights recent cases where American government employees and contractors took to the media to expose fraud and abuse.[2][3] In all cases the whistleblowing was to the detriment of their professional and personal lives.[1][2][4][5] With President Obama's commitment to transparency and the passage of the Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act, there was hope that whistleblowers would finally have more protection and encouragement to speak up.[4][6] But according to the film, times have never been worse for national security whistleblowers.[7] The Obama administration attacked more whistleblowers under the Espionage Act than all previous administrations combined.[5][8][9][10] According to Whistleblowers, journalists are also harassed for covering these stories.[5][11] War on Whistleblowers premiered in April 2013 in theaters and on DVD.
