Goes thru several whistleblower events successfully establishing the case for whistleblower protection.
Some Whistleblowers have saved lives. Gayl exposed the military’s refusal to replace Humvees with MRAPs in Iraq. DeKort exposed the design defects of boats being built for coast guard.
Some Whistleblowers have exposed government crimes against Americans. Drake blew the whistle on NSA warrantless surveillance on Americans. Snowden exposed systems like PRISM spying on everyone, including all Americans. Binney - NSA warrantless surveillance on Americans.
Shows how whistleblowers are attacked by our government, sometimes for years, as punishment just for exposing crimes.
Whistleblowers have some legislative protections now, but more journalists have now become the targets.
Interesting documentary. Probably just the tip of the iceberg. You should watch it.
