Actors: Rachel Weisz, Monica Bellucci, Vanessa Redgrave
PlotA dedicated and determined American police officer takes a job as a peacekeeper in post-war Bosnia, motivated by the promise of high pay and the opportunity to make a difference. Upon arrival, she discovers a chaotic and broken society struggling to rebuild. Her role quickly shifts from simple peacekeeping to investigative work when she uncovers a harrowing human trafficking ring operating within the country. The evidence she gathers indicates extensive corruption, implicating not only local officials but also members of the international peacekeeping community, including employees of private security firms contracted to help restore order.
Determined to bring justice to the victims and expose those responsible, she faces severe resistance and threats from every side. Her efforts to blow the whistle on the trafficking ring are consistently thwarted by the very organizations meant to assist and support her mission. As she delves deeper, she comes to realize the extent of the systemic corruption and the formidable power of those involved. Her struggle becomes one not just for justice, but also for her own survival, as she works to reveal the truth to the world and bring the perpetrators to justice, risking her career and safety in the process.
