13th Annual Whistleblower Summit & Film Festival Announces Films and Screenplays
There's a reason Hollywood loves whistleblowers. Their stories have everything: suspense, real-life impact, moral conflict, and the kind of courage that changes the world. At the Whistleblower Summit & Film Festival (www.WhistleblowerSummit.com), we celebrate these stories every year -- with a focus you won't find anywhere else.
Hollywood's Greatest Whistleblower Movies
Here's our take on the best films that have brought whistleblowing center stage, inspiring audiences-- and sometimes changing the course of history.
1. All The President's Men (1976)
A classic. Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein (played by Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman) crack open Watergate, showing how journalism and whistleblowing can bring down a presidency.
2. Serpico (1973)
Al Pacino stars as NYPD officer Frank Serpico, who refuses to turn a blind eye to police corruption. Raw, real, and still relevant.
3. The Insider (1999)
Tells the gripping true story of Jeffrey Wigand (Russell Crowe), who exposed Big Tobacco's cover-up on "60 Minutes." A masterclass in tension-- and conscience.
