告密者

你只要21岁高中学历就能被录取
你能辨认出谁是塞族克族或波族吗 种族仇恨引发了这个国家的战争 我们来此是为了监督不是调查 有时让步也是这项工作的一部分
战争使我们这儿一半的男人死了 所以这些女孩被拐进来是为谁服务的 她们体内有硬币像狗一样被虐待
联合国是在奥斯维辛的尸体上建起来的 要维护尊严必须要做的是不使联合国强暴那些我们必须保护的人而遗臭万年 那些女孩就是军妓我们不会也不能受道德准则的摆布
面对着本土 维和人员 政府和政府官员巨大的利益关系网的革职和威胁 内政部官员的无间道使她取得了贩卖人口被逼卖淫的证据 凭借一些政府官员的良心 她成功了
许多维和人员被解职无人在本国遭到犯罪指控 嘉芙再也没能再国际组织中任职

   对于一个纪录电影来说，挖掘的深度已经到达了对人性拷问的程度。印象最深的是女主问女孩子你到底和不和我走的时候。剧情在两个女人的对峙下达到情绪的高潮。用女性主义的角度去剖析它是很简单的。无论是开头女主因为热爱工作，而没能得到女儿的监护权；还是故事发生地点是一个男性占大多数的公司；被虐待女孩的照片成为缺失女性权利最有力的佐证。对，我说这是很简单的观点因为我觉得女性主义已经被用烂了。研究生什么都可以套上一套理论。即使有理有据，但只是乘前人之荫。所以对于女主和女二的对峙上升到对人性懦弱的展现，作为观众表示十分惊喜。
  要说主旨精神，这部片子和真探的基调十分相似。都是质疑人类在罪恶面前是否会屈服于权利和诱惑。描绘的人性阴暗面又和处女之死挺像的。处女们和妓女们在影片的最后都没有得到拯救。所以这就是为什么我看完这片子心情非常低落。
  最让我惊讶的是看完这个发生在完全不一样世界里的故事居然让我想到了发生在我身边的事。这种屈服于权利，为了暂时的安全而放弃自己的自尊的情节屡屡皆是。最明显的例子就是装逼了。最近又和朋友们讨论起了优越感的来源与生成。来到这辈子读过的第三个大学，我越来越发现人性的弱点都是相似的。好像贬低别人变成了一种天经地义的事情。做什么说什么都可以成为划分自己与他人界限的理由。而因为害怕被孤立和不认可，更是可以牺牲自己的灵魂和自尊与现实世界的既定价值做交换。在电影是用灵魂交换命，那还可以理解。至少女孩子还曾经有勇气站出来指认凶手。我是不懂身边的男男女女。电影里女孩子的代价是生命啊。在极度的恐惧之下做出不明智的决定会让人觉得是一种悲剧的美。换作是我，自问也不一定能把握住自己最后仅存的理智。但身边衣食无忧的年轻人的心理状态我就不甚了解了。牺牲自己牺牲得毫无价值和美感。
   是不是我挖掘出他们的美感我就能写出剧本了。想到这个就心好累。不想再写影评了。不知道还要读多少书才能理解他们。还要担着有生之年都可能理解不了的准备。不多说了。我看书去了。

Talking With Kathryn Bolkovac About Her Experience as The Whistleblower

Posted: 08/16/11 07:48 PM ET

 

After seeing (and reviewing) The Whistleblower, I contacted Kathryn Bolkovac, whose story is the basis of the movie, and interviewed her. Her answers speak for themselves, but also give such a sense of her persona, grit and determination.

FOSTER: You were faced with a situation where the people you worked with were engaged in something very shocking. Do you have any insight as to how or why they got involved with trafficking?

I really do not think there is clear cut answer for this. Everyone is an individual and is accountable to their individual behavior and potential illegal actions they committed and continue to commit in current missions. I think most people are truly just plain complicit in their thinking and tend to not get involved or look the other way to avoid any form of accountability, especially if they think that something does not directly affect them for their position. Then there is the group of people who can easily be swayed to join in on a pack mentality, who are morally and mentally weak or ignorant. When conditions are right as they have been and still are in many overseas missions around the world, or if they think they will not be caught or judged then it is easy for them to engage in illegal and corrupt behavior. They try to justify and minimize their actions. Finally, there are individuals who are just plain evil and corrupt, they see the money making potential of preying on the helpless and needy, and exploit every opportunity they can to make a buck, especially in an industry that involves sex. They are very good at dehumanizing, denial, and lying about what is going on.

FOSTER: What do you think needs to be done to address the trafficking issue? What can government do?

The trafficking issue at large is too complex to tackle with sweeping reform. There are so many different types of human trafficking each with different dynamics of funding the corruption. Obviously, many adults choose to be trafficked... or illegally transported across many borders to escape horrendous conditions in their own countries. These issues cannot be convoluted with organized criminal syndicates who are providing services to internationals all over the world, in the form of trafficking for forced prostitution. They are involved in the recruitment, abuse, desensitization, and sale of human flesh, into international missions as sex workers. This is what I want to discuss and what I think we can make a huge impact on based on my experiences as a former law enforcement officer, former UN employee, former representative of our U.S. government overseas, and as a former employee of one of the largest private government contractors in the world DynCorp.

FOSTER: What can our government do?

First, in the short term, the United States needs to take a serious look at why we are willing to allow private companies to engage in the profession of law enforcement. Government contractors are a needed and viable means to get many logistical and re-construction efforts accomplished. They are not a viable means for a protection force or as a mechanism for the use in training law enforcement officers in emerging democracies. Law enforcement is not a business. Policing is a calling. Does anyone really believe that private corporations are in this policing and operational mission business for anything but the money? We need to set an example with our own federal police selection units, perhaps via the Department of Justice as an example, why can we not recruit and most importantly train our own community police officers before we send them into these missions? My book accurately describes the pathetic training offered by the private company who sent me overseas, which I am sure was heavily subsidized with my tax dollars. It was a disgrace; none of us had even the minimum knowledge or idea of what we were supposed to be doing once we got into Bosnia.

If we are to continue to send "rent a cops " overseas with inadequate knowledge and inadequate protections from corrupt private companies, some of whom had serious questionable policing backgrounds we might want to stop and think about how this damages our reputation and our goals. The private company who fired me had free reign to treat me however they saw fit, no one was in authority to stop them. They were exempt from all U.S. government accountability and have never been held accountable for what they did to me to this day. How has this changed? It has not.

Second, get the Civilian Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act (CEJA) out of committee and get it passed. It has been more than 12 years overdue. [NOTE: CEJA would allow the U.S. Justice Department to prosecute government contractors and employees for certain crimes committed overseas. It would complement the Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act (MEJA), which provides similar criminal jurisdiction over Department of Defense employees and contractors but does not clearly apply to U.S. contractors working overseas for other federal agencies.]

Third, make government contractors accountable for their employee actions, by putting a clause in their contracts that require them to facilitate and allow oversight of both external and internal investigations by outside government agencies, when probable cause exists that employees are suspected, or implicated in criminal offenses. They must cooperate in the facilitation of prosecutions. They can no longer just fire people, and hope the problem goes away, which automatically curtails any further investigation.

Fourth, set examples by having the means available to prosecute and convict with meaningful sentences.

FOSTER: What can individuals do?

Learn, read, report, and stop burying your heads in the sand. Many of the people involved in these crimes could be your next door neighbor.

Get local law enforcement initiatives started, and ask your police chiefs this question. What kind of training is being offered to your new recruits and officers on the streets to recognize and investigate all forms of human trafficking?

Do you think a local police chief in the hills of Northern New Mexico, or in the farming community of southern Illinois, is even going to know what we are talking about? Does the local hotel have young female Hispanics working in the housekeeping department? They do not speak English, they have no documents, does he know what wage they are being paid and in what form? Think about it. I have been in these places have you?

 FOSTER: Many of the women and girls who are trafficked are promised jobs that don't materialize. What do you think would be effective to get the word out to them so that fewer of them fall prey to these types of promises?

The only effect we can have on this is to stop the demand.

FOSTER: How did you sustain yourself?

Continued faith in our justice system, lots of hard workouts and sweat, many tears and my husband would make me a strong gin tonic with lots of lemon and ice once in a while.

这片子是今年第一次看片后有去查资料去翻历史的冲动的片子，根据真实故事改编往往都是些有着撼动能力的片子。今天一直在找有没有类似的片子，没有，真没有，后来想想这也是应该的，一，历史是不容复制的；二，政治丑闻不是那么随随便便可以浮出于众。更可见它的难得。
为何会这样？
打着人道主义的口号，做着人性泯灭的事；作为维持秩序正义的人，做着游走于法律之下的事情。一直认为任何一件事的发生归根究底都会有一个根本原因的诱使，同样像他们也一样，原因就是这些人都有一个保护伞------外交豁免权。没有法律的制裁以及监督，残暴一览无遗，当同伙壮大，这种现象根本是无法想象的。就像战后的波黑。
或许会觉得前半段有些冗长，但是看后回想起来，几乎每一句台词，在片后的对比都是一只强力拳，足以打碎那些虚伪的正义。
关于制度
波黑是一个多名族国家，存在强烈的宗教间矛盾，92年三个民族围绕波黑前途和领土划分等问题开战。战后联合国派遣维和部队来重建，但是这却为他们带来了新一轮的灾难。看电影里为了可以保护那两个女孩凯瑟琳算是恳求那个部门的女同事，但是她只会冰冷地重复制度、规矩。可是他们呢？凌驾于制度之上，游走于法律之下，还不如强盗。
关于人口贩卖
07年李扬拍《盲山》，在国际上大受欢迎，可在Z国却被打入禁片的冷宫，一不露肉，二不暴力，但却被禁，因为揭露了一个残酷的现状----人口贩卖。看片时我也在假想如果我也是个被贩卖去的人怎么办？看不到明天，活着和死了差不多，估计八成选择咬舌自尽，赶紧投胎。“每一天都会有女孩被贩卖”，
关于媒体
媒体的本质，永远是一个向霸权献媚、为强盗歌颂、毫无道德可言毫无廉耻之心的妓女本质。 这是大众的普遍认知。不过片中的这个真相有幸可以公之于众，很庆幸它越过了美国，是靠BBC以另一种方式报道了出来，BBC和此事没有直接的利益冲突。作为媒体的良知从始至终都是个模棱两可的问题，如果太敢说真话，最终嘴是会被封住的。即使看过这部片，这个看法我还是不会改变。
关于最后
最后想说，Z国永远不会拍这种片子，甚至播出

这个片子告诉了我们，只要人的存在是为了欲望，那么当他有了权力了以后就会利用自己的权力来满足自己的欲望。
如果没有一个国家体制来制约这种权力那么必将形成有组织的犯罪集团。
光靠政策来说服大众，只是一个美丽的谎言！

莫妮卡在里面看着好老啊，皱巴巴的T_T
嗯，其实类似题材的电影看过不少，无非是一个有正义感的人敢于冒着生命危险揭露某些阴暗面，并且以正义最终战胜邪恶为结局，一句话，煞笔，但是这部片子亮就亮在结尾处的几行字啊，Kathy揭露了丑陋的现实，却没有人为这样的罪恶买单，这个邪恶的组织并没有受到惩罚，不过是把公司解散了而已，换个名字照样接单干活，鬼知道他们是不是继续这样的勾当，并且Kathy从此没有能再参与类似的工作，再一次证明“未被同化”的人是为体制所不容的啊！！！哪里都有黑暗啊摔！！！
