Best Whistleblower Movie of All Time is the Real-Life One

October 21st, 2010. By AbiK

Seeing a Whistleblower movie is a fun night out. Seeing the real folks who inspired the Whistleblower movies…well, it’s the difference between defrosting a tub of Cool-Whip or grabbing a pint of heavy cream and an iSi Profi Whipped Cream Maker and getting the real deal! (don’t ask me where that one came from)

I think you’ll appreciate whistleblowers and whistleblowing a bit more when you check out this video—produced earlier this year by the Government Accountability Project (GAP) in conjunction with the Paley Center and Participant Media. Guests include some famous whistleblowers—including Frank Serpico—who provide some very real-life perspective on what it’s like to be a whistleblower.

Separated at Birth? Asbestos News Roundup has Whistleblower Company

October 15th, 2010. By AbiK

Things that make you go hmm.

Having a C+C Music Factory moment here as I read an email—or more to the point—the link on the email that a colleague just sent over to me. Here’s the screen capture of the link:

The title is, dare I say, strikingly similar in style—hell, in just about every way!—to our very own Asbestos News Roundups. Well, I suppose it’s a case of great minds think alike (for the record, yes, we launched first). Regardless, the Government Accountability Project (GAP)—which has been around since 1977—does some good work in promoting corporate and government accountability. So we’re happy to be on the same wavelength…

By the way, if you’re in Washington this weekend, GAP posted that the Whistleblower Film Series will kick off on Saturday as part of the DC Labor FilmFest. Check it out if you’re in town. Details can be found here.
