The Whistleblower.

The Immaculate Heart of Mary by Bosseron Chambers

The Whistleblower (2010), starring Rachel Weisz, tells the story of a US citizen who revealed a massive sex trafficking ring in Bosnia-Herzegovina after the war of the late 20th century. She was employed by a private UK-based contractor, hired by the UN. While working on gender-related crimes (i.e. crimes against women), she discovered that there was massive organized slavery happening in Bosnia, sustained by the international community, who had been brought to the country to be peacekeepers.

When the Bosnian war was over, and the UN peacekeepers had moved in, the true war against evil didn't end. We use the word war to describe a confluence of circumstances in which the international community must take part. But there are no clear lines between war and not war. Real war never ends, just as true evil is never exterminated.

Kathryn Bolkovac, who Weisz portrays in the film, was a regular person in an extraordinary situation, and for whatever reason, she saw bad things happening and didn't look away. While I was watching the movie, I could hear a voice in my head saying, "dude, move on, this isn't your job", but she was a peacekeeper, someone hired to bring peace, and she took that job seriously.

If you have the power to see, it is a gift, and is not to be misused or ignored. It should be cultivated and honored, used for good. Ignoring the seer in oneself causes it to die, or lose strength. It is fed when we listen to it. We have all ignored things that are painful because we feel overwhelmed. But the far greater tragedy happens when we are all too preoccupied to pay attention to one another, when we no longer see suffering at all.
