(The Whistleblowers/2007) When public injury lawyer Ben Graham?s latest client
commits suicide despite winning a hefty compensation,
his conscience kicks into action. What use is defending
people hurt in the name of profit, if those responsible
will never admit to it or change their ways?
In a bid for genuine justice he sets up shop with his
girlfriend and colleague, Alisha Cole, and together they
embark on a new career: assisting the most unlikely
of heroes to take huge personal risks, and speak out
in a world of profiteering and corruption, political and
corporate mismanagement, negligence and greed.
Each case is a moral minefield. For bravery is one thing,
but having the wisdom to choose the right path ? and
the strength of character to keep to it ? is the hardest
part of all. As they rub up against rogue elements in
business and government, Ben and Alisha find that
integrity comes at a heavy cost.
From pharmaceutical fraudulence to immigration
issues, bribery in the education system to environmental
hazards, the storylines are as slick and polished as the
production values in this high-speed, high-stakes ethical thriller.
Would you have the courage to tell the truth, no matter what the consequences?.
