KALAMAZOO--Kalamazoo Film Society presents "The Whistleblower," starring Rachel Weisz, Vanessa Redgrave, David Strathairn and Monica Bellucci, Friday through Sunday, Nov. 11-13, in the Little Theatre at Western Michigan University.

Show times are 7 and 9:30 p.m. Friday; 4:30, 7 and 9:30 p.m. Saturday; and 2:30, 5 and 7:30 p.m. Sunday. Admission is $5.

This ripped-from-the-headlines thriller is inspired by actual events. Kathy Bolkovac (Weisz) is a Nebraskan police officer who takes a job working as a peacekeeper in post-war Bosnia. Her expectations of helping to rebuild a devastated country are dashed when she uncovers a dangerous reality of corruption, cover-up and intrigue amid a world of private contractors and multinational diplomatic double-talk.

Written by Larysa Kondracki and Eilis Kirwan, and directed by Kondracki, "The Whistleblower" is rated R for sexual content, language, violence and nudity. Released in 2011, the film has a run time of 112 minutes and is shown in English.
