Directed by first time filmmaker Larysa Kondracki, the film also stars Academy Award winner Vanessa Redgrave, Monica Bellucci and Academy Award nominee David Strathairn.

"The movie, constructed as a relentless and frightening thriller, stars Rachel Weisz in one of her best performances, portraying Bolkovac as a quiet, intense woman who has heroism thrust upon her by the evidence of her own eyes."
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times
"The Whistleblower, a debut feature by director Larysa Kondracki, working from a script by Eilis Kirwan, blends the earnestness of a torn-from-headlines exposé with the pulse-quickening technique of a police thriller."
