Interview With Larysa Kondracki On The Whistleblower
Larysa Kondracki’s The Whistleblower was one of the most talked about films at SFIFF 54. I personally loved the film, read my review here. It’s a powerful portrait of human-trafficking and government cover ups that took pla...
The Whistleblower Review [SFIFF]
Watching The Whistleblower is not an easy experience. It's a bit like getting kicked in the stomach. While it's based on a true story, the story of Kathryn Bolkovac, it's even more unnerving to hear director Larysa Kondracki sp...

Tabloid Review [SFIFF]
