An occupational nurse in a chemical plant turns whistleblower over toxic discharges but has to balance fighting for the truth against the risk of alienating her entire family. The result could be a goodies vs baddies thriller or a dogmatic dissertation; in fact it’s neither — yes, there are thriller elements, but the personal issues make it a rich study. That’s helped in no small part by the quality of the acting (Zita Hanrot as the nurse, Sami Bouajila as her father, C\u00e9line Sallette as a committed journalist with a dark side). Also relevant: it’s based on a real incident (in Hungary, but the same process is widely used around the world with the same dangers). As the review says, it’s a “tense and timely thriller”.<\/p>\n
