告密者

首先这部电影在pptv的蓝光视频里，这样你们就可以容易找到。

这部电影是真人真事。

关于剧情，辗转反侧的内容，让眼睛和大脑不停的运作，本来以为是光明前的黑暗，原来是越来越琢磨不透的阴森。


然后让我们看看作为世界联合国，他们主要负责的事项, 我简单的摘要了一下 “联合国、各方案和基金以及专门机构组成“联合国系统”。作为联合国组织的大家庭，联合国执行涉及我们每个人方方面面的多种任务。这些任务既包括安全理事会为应对某一争端决定派遣维持和平行动，也包括制定航空安全和通信兼容性的标准； 既包括向自然灾害受害者迅速调运紧急用品，也包括协调对付艾滋病流行的工作；既包括帮助各国举行自由公正选举，也包括为较穷国家基础设施发展争取低息贷款提供担保。归根结底，联合国的工作是要创造一个更健康、更稳定的世界，增进我们人人享有的机会和正义（见www.unsystem.org）”


剧中的女主角就是为了完成这些事情然后去不同国家帮助他人的其中一只小蚂蚁，不出所料的是，一群男人的里边，只有2个女人在做这样的事情，没有女生愿意做这样的工作，一年的很多时间飞来飞去，每天穿着制服，当女主角问她另外的一个女同事为什么做这个，那个女孩说，因为不需要大学毕业成绩，听说还能挣很多钱。

电影是讲人口贩卖的，一个多少年来一直存在的问题，看到影片中那些年轻的女孩被泯灭人性的欺凌，手无寸铁的她们让我揪心，她一个联合国中的一个小蚂蚁，想要拯救这些女孩们，重重的阻碍，不光使她丢掉了工作，还造成了其中一个女孩子的死亡。女人在那里，或者说在很多地方是不被看重的，丈夫的打虐，其他男人的不尊重，等等。

现在我的心情还是久久不能平静，无法平静下来不光是看到一部真人真事的电影，而且在电影最后 这个女人最后也没有能回到联合国上班，为什么一个人只是想伸张正义，努力的用自己的真心去工作，却那样难？

她一直没有哭，直到她看着其中被拐卖一个女孩，她伸出手对那个女孩说“ 别怕，你就只要说你想离开，你是安全的。” 她不停的说，泪也不停的落下来。女孩最后哭着说“no“ 她颤抖着躲到了那个连狗都不会住的房间里。

到底真相是什么，电影为我们留下了问号。




看到这些，我们应该做什么？




最后是一些电影的台词。
"We say in this nation that we are looking for people with honesty, integrity, drive and dedication, and then when we find such people, we take them out and whip them." -anonymous whistleblower


“You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it.” -Margaret Thatcher

"Don't let it end like this. Tell them I said something." -Pancho Villa

"We hold our heads high, despite the price we have paid, because freedom is priceless." -Lech Walesa

   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。

你认为世间存在正义，公正么？

人与人最大的共通之处是什么？empathy. 当一个人痛苦，难过，挣扎，崩溃，愤怒，快乐的时候，另一个人是不是可以身临其境的感受到他人的感觉．人与人之间最大的联系，在我看来，不是种族，国家，文化，和其他背景，而是这种empathized feeling. 如果没有这种感觉，难以想象人类的未来可以有任何希望．

看一下human trafficking的数据吧

An estimated 2.5 million people are in forced labour (including sexual exploitation) at any given time as a result of trafficking.　1.4 million – 56% - are in Asia and the Pacific.

The majority of trafficking victims are between 18 and 24 years of age

95% of victims experienced physical or sexual violence during trafficking (based on data from selected European countries)

43% of victims are used for forced commercial sexual exploitation, of whom 98 per cent are women and girls．32% of victims are used for forced economic exploitation, of whom 56 per cent are women and girls

In 2006 there were only 5,808 prosecutions and 3,160 convictions throughout the world
This means that for every 800 people trafficked, only one person was convicted in 2006.

大约2000年，一个美国的女警察被派往波斯尼亚执行联合国维和任务．期间他发现当地有各种色情场所里的年轻妓女都是从西欧各国贩卖来的，有的是拐卖，有的是哄骗，有的是无家可归者，有de 是因为战乱离家者．当地警察，政府，联合国维和组织，美国政府的contractor都参与到这个流水线式的犯罪行为中．就在她搜查证据的时候，他的调查被美国政府高层正式禁止了．原因就是U.S contractor以每年几十亿的合同为代价逼迫美国政府施压，干预调查．在乌克兰，罗马尼亚，捷克，白俄罗斯，波斯尼亚等等西欧国家中，这些年轻的女孩以各种手段被卖往欧洲美洲其他国家．贩卖者每年可以从中收取百分之2000的利润．一个美国pimp可以从一个年轻妓女身上获得＄250,000的利润．在这个事件中，集团公司，美国政府，联合国，当地警察政府，都成为了human trafficking的同谋者，他们当中很多人甚至参与到买卖妇女的交易当中．其中一个年轻女孩被人从乌克兰拐卖到波斯尼亚，因为答应为这个女警察出庭作证，被当场杀害．第二天，一群冷酷的波斯尼亚警察在荒郊野外围着这么一个被发现的年轻尸体，抽着香烟，若无其事的闲聊着，象看死老鼠一样，悠闲的看着眼前这个美丽生命的驱壳．很多的年轻女孩都是这样，先被侮辱，轮奸，性虐待，摧毁她们的精神意志，然后成为赚钱的性工具，最后被杀害或者被性虐待致死．

她把所有内幕在英国公布于众，没有一个当地警察和联合国官员受到应有的起诉和惩罚．所有人只是被遣散了．那些参与其中的U.S contractor依然在伊拉克和阿富汗享受巨额合同带来的利润．这个女警察现今依然没有工作．．．．．此事并没有引起媒体的轩然大波．．．

此时的我，愤怒．我喜欢这种感觉．

人与人之间如果没有empathy, 很难想象人类可以有任何希望继续下去．当看到这个女孩被一群男人侮辱，性侵扰，迫害，轮奸，杀害，你也许会感到有一些不安．当听到那些声嘶力竭的叫喊，我很难想象一个普通人竟然还可以神色安宁的喝茶吃饭！但之后呢，因为我们感到无助，没有能力做任何事情，所以我们便尽量的告诉自己，这是世界另一头的事情么？这与我们的生活不相干，于是我们只能叹气么？于是乎，世界的这一头，你在乏味平庸的生活着，另一边，千百万的年轻生命在你无法想象的环境中摧残着．每一个人和你一样有感情的人，每天在经历着地狱一样的生活，即使我们什么都不能做，也没有任何借口去无视．

集团公司和大学有一个课程或者名词，叫"business ethics". 你真的认为世间存在一种概念，叫business ethics么？business 真的有ethics么？business的目的只有一个，就是股东的利润．它所做的所有都是为了最大的增加股东的利润．ethics成为他们一个最道德化的理由，来让那些消费者觉得他们花的钱心安理得．

你觉得世间有公正和正义么？在哪里？（don't tell me its in the LAW)
这个问题很让人思考，但我不感兴趣．因为我不需要寻找公正和正义．
不管这世间有没有公正和正义，我们都不需要去寻找，因为寻找意味着我们倚靠他人和外界．这些价值需要自己去创造．这样创造出来的公正和正义是属于自己的．这样的道德律是凌驾与法律之上的．自己的道德律可以对抗全世界．

为什么human trafficking成为现今成长最快，利润最大的犯罪行为？

为什么越来越多的人成为所谓的＂现代奴隶主＂？特别是男人（在中国，平均四个男人中，就有一个参与性行为买卖）

为什么媒体对于这些真正涉及多放利益的问题，拷问伦理的重大问题置之枉然？

如果世间没有公正和正义，你会怎么办？

你走的越远，走的越久，就会发现这世间本没有价值，人也变得没有意义．而为什么人要存在？存在的理由之一就是为了创造原本没有，但之后属于自己的价值．让这些价值成为共通价值，才有希望．

去年加拿大和德国合拍了一部 The Whistleblower。讲波黑地区妇女被贩卖和遭受性暴力问题。实际上这些贩卖和暴力的活动却由美国官方以及与美政府合作的私人公司背后操作。

其实影片最后表达的还是这场抗争以失败告终，这个世界还是男权的社会。尽管有那么一些人被开除了，尽管katie最后把证据拿出来公布于众了，不要告诉我在波黑那些地方女孩们已经不再饱受欺凌。

有战争的地方就有军队，有军队的地方就需要军妓。可是，有哪一些人自愿来作军妓的，于是产生了贩卖和暴力。美国一向以维护世界和平为幌子践踏他国主权，把军队开到那里，产生直接的种族拼杀，衍生出各种复杂的社会问题。

由真实事件改编的好片子， 蕾切尔·薇兹 和 莫妮卡·贝鲁奇两大美女的演出，也透露了她们不只是利用身体来博得演出的机会，证明她们也在思考作为有影响力的女性应该传播的信息和价值应该是什么。

隐藏在世界某些角落的晦垢，只有用作为女性的眼能够看到。

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.
