你認為世間存在正義，公正么？

人與人最大的共通之處是什么？empathy. 當一個人痛苦，難過，掙扎，崩潰，憤怒，快樂的時候，另一個人是不是可以身臨其境的感受到他人的感覺．人與人之間最大的聯(lián)系，在我看來，不是種族，國家，文化，和其他背景，而是這種empathized feeling. 如果沒有這種感覺，難以想象人類的未來可以有任何希望．

看一下human trafficking的數(shù)據(jù)吧

An estimated 2.5 million people are in forced labour (including sexual exploitation) at any given time as a result of trafficking.　1.4 million – 56% - are in Asia and the Pacific.

The majority of trafficking victims are between 18 and 24 years of age

95% of victims experienced physical or sexual violence during trafficking (based on data from selected European countries)

43% of victims are used for forced commercial sexual exploitation, of whom 98 per cent are women and girls．32% of victims are used for forced economic exploitation, of whom 56 per cent are women and girls

In 2006 there were only 5,808 prosecutions and 3,160 convictions throughout the world
This means that for every 800 people trafficked, only one person was convicted in 2006.

大約2000年，一個美國的女警察被派往波斯尼亞執(zhí)行聯(lián)合國維和任務．期間他發(fā)現(xiàn)當?shù)赜懈鞣N色情場所里的年輕妓女都是從西歐各國販賣來的，有的是拐賣，有的是哄騙，有的是無家可歸者，有de 是因為戰(zhàn)亂離家者．當?shù)鼐?，政府，?lián)合國維和組織，美國政府的contractor都參與到這個流水線式的犯罪行為中．就在她搜查證據(jù)的時候，他的調查被美國政府高層正式禁止了．原因就是U.S contractor以每年幾十億的合同為代價逼迫美國政府施壓，干預調查．在烏克蘭，羅馬尼亞，捷克，白俄羅斯，波斯尼亞等等西歐國家中，這些年輕的女孩以各種手段被賣往歐洲美洲其他國家．販賣者每年可以從中收取百分之2000的利潤．一個美國pimp可以從一個年輕妓女身上獲得＄250,000的利潤．在這個事件中，集團公司，美國政府，聯(lián)合國，當?shù)鼐煺汲蔀榱薶uman trafficking的同謀者，他們當中很多人甚至參與到買賣婦女的交易當中．其中一個年輕女孩被人從烏克蘭拐賣到波斯尼亞，因為答應為這個女警察出庭作證，被當場殺害．第二天，一群冷酷的波斯尼亞警察在荒郊野外圍著這么一個被發(fā)現(xiàn)的年輕尸體，抽著香煙，若無其事的閑聊著，象看死老鼠一樣，悠閑的看著眼前這個美麗生命的驅殼．很多的年輕女孩都是這樣，先被侮辱，輪奸，性虐待，摧毀她們的精神意志，然后成為賺錢的性工具，最后被殺害或者被性虐待致死．

她把所有內(nèi)幕在英國公布于眾，沒有一個當?shù)鼐旌吐?lián)合國官員受到應有的起訴和懲罰．所有人只是被遣散了．那些參與其中的U.S contractor依然在伊拉克和阿富汗享受巨額合同帶來的利潤．這個女警察現(xiàn)今依然沒有工作．．．．．此事并沒有引起媒體的軒然大波．．．

此時的我，憤怒．我喜歡這種感覺．

人與人之間如果沒有empathy, 很難想象人類可以有任何希望繼續(xù)下去．當看到這個女孩被一群男人侮辱，性侵擾，迫害，輪奸，殺害，你也許會感到有一些不安．當聽到那些聲嘶力竭的叫喊，我很難想象一個普通人竟然還可以神色安寧的喝茶吃飯！但之后呢，因為我們感到無助，沒有能力做任何事情，所以我們便盡量的告訴自己，這是世界另一頭的事情么？這與我們的生活不相干，于是我們只能嘆氣么？于是乎，世界的這一頭，你在乏味平庸的生活著，另一邊，千百萬的年輕生命在你無法想象的環(huán)境中摧殘著．每一個人和你一樣有感情的人，每天在經(jīng)歷著地獄一樣的生活，即使我們什么都不能做，也沒有任何借口去無視．

集團公司和大學有一個課程或者名詞，叫"business ethics". 你真的認為世間存在一種概念，叫business ethics么？business 真的有ethics么？business的目的只有一個，就是股東的利潤．它所做的所有都是為了最大的增加股東的利潤．ethics成為他們一個最道德化的理由，來讓那些消費者覺得他們花的錢心安理得．

你覺得世間有公正和正義么？在哪里？（don't tell me its in the LAW)
這個問題很讓人思考，但我不感興趣．因為我不需要尋找公正和正義．
不管這世間有沒有公正和正義，我們都不需要去尋找，因為尋找意味著我們倚靠他人和外界．這些價值需要自己去創(chuàng)造．這樣創(chuàng)造出來的公正和正義是屬于自己的．這樣的道德律是凌駕與法律之上的．自己的道德律可以對抗全世界．

為什么human trafficking成為現(xiàn)今成長最快，利潤最大的犯罪行為？

為什么越來越多的人成為所謂的＂現(xiàn)代奴隸主＂？特別是男人（在中國，平均四個男人中，就有一個參與性行為買賣）

為什么媒體對于這些真正涉及多放利益的問題，拷問倫理的重大問題置之枉然？

如果世間沒有公正和正義，你會怎么辦？

你走的越遠，走的越久，就會發(fā)現(xiàn)這世間本沒有價值，人也變得沒有意義．而為什么人要存在？存在的理由之一就是為了創(chuàng)造原本沒有，但之后屬于自己的價值．讓這些價值成為共通價值，才有希望．

這個片子告訴了我們，只要人的存在是為了欲望，那么當他有了權力了以后就會利用自己的權力來滿足自己的欲望。
如果沒有一個國家體制來制約這種權力那么必將形成有組織的犯罪集團。
光靠政策來說服大眾，只是一個美麗的謊言！

制片人希望能讓觀眾受到片中那些被迫賣淫女性受到殘暴對待的鏡頭影響，所以增加了拉亞一角，來給予這些受害人一張真實的面孔。
電影首次在多倫多放映期間，一位觀眾因片中的暴力鏡頭暈倒，大部分強奸的鏡頭因此遭到刪減。

對此薇茲表示：
我完全理解，讓人看這些東西的確太痛苦了。
真實情況還要慘烈得多。
我的意思是，第一個接觸這些青年女性的人的故事中我能夠告訴你的還只有這個“低調”的版本，如果你能夠接受這樣的內(nèi)容。
不過，這不是紀錄片，你不希望（在里面）毀掉誰。
你只想闡明一些事情，它的實際情況還要慘上百倍。

聯(lián)合國秘書長潘基文主持了電影的一次放映，并承諾會采取措施，防止聯(lián)合國工作人員參與色情人口販賣活動。
對此波克瓦克回應：“不幸的是，恐懼已經(jīng)廣泛散布。糾正之路將會很復雜，并且無法速戰(zhàn)速決?！彼€表示，除波斯尼亞外，維和人員在尼日利亞、科索沃、布隆迪、塞拉利昂、剛果、利比里亞、柬埔寨、伊拉克、阿富汗、海地、哥倫比亞、幾內(nèi)亞和蘇丹都存在侵犯人權的行徑。
康達基對此表示自己打算保持樂觀，希望電影的放映能夠“讓人們對聯(lián)合國參與性交易人口販賣及其它犯罪活動展開真正的討論和思考?！钡矒碾娪翱赡懿粫a(chǎn)生預期的持久影響：“我知道我們會聽到很多說法，說自本片上映以來都已經(jīng)采該了哪些措施，但到目前為止這些都還只是說辭。實際情況已經(jīng)出現(xiàn)升級。

”《告密者》在院線上映后，《衛(wèi)報》報道稱有聯(lián)合國官員試圖淡化電影中描繪的事件，并且打擊波斯尼亞境內(nèi)人口販賣的行動已遭中止。

戴陽國際發(fā)言人阿什利·伯克（Ashley Burke）稱：

我沒看過那部電影，所以無法對其內(nèi)容作出評價，但是我可能告訴大家，我們聯(lián)系影片發(fā)行商試圖了解電影的更多信息時得知，影片不是改編自波克瓦克女士的著作，而是是受到她經(jīng)歷啟發(fā)所做的‘虛構戲劇化呈現(xiàn)’。我們也沒有威脅采取法律行動來要求他們不得在片中使用公司的真實名稱。

很抱歉，以上是我轉載的內(nèi)容，我覺得這更有一定的說服力
首先，電影里出現(xiàn)的公司名稱戴陽國際是真實存在的，并且戴陽國際也一直在參與聯(lián)合國的各種事物（業(yè)務），最終聯(lián)合國秘書長潘也組織觀看了此片，相信會有所動作！

但.....弱肉搶食

Talking With Kathryn Bolkovac About Her Experience as The Whistleblower

Posted: 08/16/11 07:48 PM ET

 

After seeing (and reviewing) The Whistleblower, I contacted Kathryn Bolkovac, whose story is the basis of the movie, and interviewed her. Her answers speak for themselves, but also give such a sense of her persona, grit and determination.

FOSTER: You were faced with a situation where the people you worked with were engaged in something very shocking. Do you have any insight as to how or why they got involved with trafficking?

I really do not think there is clear cut answer for this. Everyone is an individual and is accountable to their individual behavior and potential illegal actions they committed and continue to commit in current missions. I think most people are truly just plain complicit in their thinking and tend to not get involved or look the other way to avoid any form of accountability, especially if they think that something does not directly affect them for their position. Then there is the group of people who can easily be swayed to join in on a pack mentality, who are morally and mentally weak or ignorant. When conditions are right as they have been and still are in many overseas missions around the world, or if they think they will not be caught or judged then it is easy for them to engage in illegal and corrupt behavior. They try to justify and minimize their actions. Finally, there are individuals who are just plain evil and corrupt, they see the money making potential of preying on the helpless and needy, and exploit every opportunity they can to make a buck, especially in an industry that involves sex. They are very good at dehumanizing, denial, and lying about what is going on.

FOSTER: What do you think needs to be done to address the trafficking issue? What can government do?

The trafficking issue at large is too complex to tackle with sweeping reform. There are so many different types of human trafficking each with different dynamics of funding the corruption. Obviously, many adults choose to be trafficked... or illegally transported across many borders to escape horrendous conditions in their own countries. These issues cannot be convoluted with organized criminal syndicates who are providing services to internationals all over the world, in the form of trafficking for forced prostitution. They are involved in the recruitment, abuse, desensitization, and sale of human flesh, into international missions as sex workers. This is what I want to discuss and what I think we can make a huge impact on based on my experiences as a former law enforcement officer, former UN employee, former representative of our U.S. government overseas, and as a former employee of one of the largest private government contractors in the world DynCorp.

FOSTER: What can our government do?

First, in the short term, the United States needs to take a serious look at why we are willing to allow private companies to engage in the profession of law enforcement. Government contractors are a needed and viable means to get many logistical and re-construction efforts accomplished. They are not a viable means for a protection force or as a mechanism for the use in training law enforcement officers in emerging democracies. Law enforcement is not a business. Policing is a calling. Does anyone really believe that private corporations are in this policing and operational mission business for anything but the money? We need to set an example with our own federal police selection units, perhaps via the Department of Justice as an example, why can we not recruit and most importantly train our own community police officers before we send them into these missions? My book accurately describes the pathetic training offered by the private company who sent me overseas, which I am sure was heavily subsidized with my tax dollars. It was a disgrace; none of us had even the minimum knowledge or idea of what we were supposed to be doing once we got into Bosnia.

If we are to continue to send "rent a cops " overseas with inadequate knowledge and inadequate protections from corrupt private companies, some of whom had serious questionable policing backgrounds we might want to stop and think about how this damages our reputation and our goals. The private company who fired me had free reign to treat me however they saw fit, no one was in authority to stop them. They were exempt from all U.S. government accountability and have never been held accountable for what they did to me to this day. How has this changed? It has not.

Second, get the Civilian Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act (CEJA) out of committee and get it passed. It has been more than 12 years overdue. [NOTE: CEJA would allow the U.S. Justice Department to prosecute government contractors and employees for certain crimes committed overseas. It would complement the Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act (MEJA), which provides similar criminal jurisdiction over Department of Defense employees and contractors but does not clearly apply to U.S. contractors working overseas for other federal agencies.]

Third, make government contractors accountable for their employee actions, by putting a clause in their contracts that require them to facilitate and allow oversight of both external and internal investigations by outside government agencies, when probable cause exists that employees are suspected, or implicated in criminal offenses. They must cooperate in the facilitation of prosecutions. They can no longer just fire people, and hope the problem goes away, which automatically curtails any further investigation.

Fourth, set examples by having the means available to prosecute and convict with meaningful sentences.

FOSTER: What can individuals do?

Learn, read, report, and stop burying your heads in the sand. Many of the people involved in these crimes could be your next door neighbor.

Get local law enforcement initiatives started, and ask your police chiefs this question. What kind of training is being offered to your new recruits and officers on the streets to recognize and investigate all forms of human trafficking?

Do you think a local police chief in the hills of Northern New Mexico, or in the farming community of southern Illinois, is even going to know what we are talking about? Does the local hotel have young female Hispanics working in the housekeeping department? They do not speak English, they have no documents, does he know what wage they are being paid and in what form? Think about it. I have been in these places have you?

 FOSTER: Many of the women and girls who are trafficked are promised jobs that don't materialize. What do you think would be effective to get the word out to them so that fewer of them fall prey to these types of promises?

The only effect we can have on this is to stop the demand.

FOSTER: How did you sustain yourself?

Continued faith in our justice system, lots of hard workouts and sweat, many tears and my husband would make me a strong gin tonic with lots of lemon and ice once in a while.

      剛剛看完告密者，是由木乃伊女主演的，看完很郁悶。真的有點像口語老師Paul說的，人長大了，就喜歡看深刻的電影了 。

       故事的主題是以波黑內(nèi)戰(zhàn)，聯(lián)合國維和部隊人員參與販賣人口，最后英雄女主角拯救局面的故事情節(jié)演的。剛開始的女主，就是一心為著錢去的。當上級軍官宣揚著正義和平的時候，女主沒有多少投入，反而是周圍的男隊友們很亢奮。

        但是隨著剝繭抽絲的敘事過程，事實浮出了水面，之所以在這樣一個戰(zhàn)爭國度，能有這樣多的酒吧生存下來，服務的不是本國的男士，而是維和部隊的軍官。 收容所的老奶奶說:"戰(zhàn)爭讓我們國家的男人都死了一半，你說這些女孩是為誰服務的！“說的是那么的平靜，但是我的內(nèi)心卻很波瀾。

     女主在劇中說了這樣的話，她說，

-- 以前在家里，我們分局有25個人，我了解他們每一個人，知道他們的一切，他們的家人。

--原本我以為是和一群精英來到這里工作，現(xiàn)在我甚至都不知道他們到底是誰？！

       西方社會一直認為，人之初，性本惡，原來我不這么認為，近些年我接觸的事情使我慢慢深刻地理解了這句話的內(nèi)涵。在西方這樣一個發(fā)達，法律體制健全的社會里，每個人在這樣的體系中生活，沒有機會，也沒有理由讓你做出出乎意料的行為，至少對大部分人是這樣的。加之開明的價值觀和先進的的城市化進程使得很多東西不會引起恐慌和圍觀。但是即使這樣紳士和文明的人類被放逐到薩拉熱窩這樣的動蕩地帶，沒有法治，種族間斗毆，社會信仰的不健全。人性中那種齷齪，極端，邪惡的念頭就會被只能各種松弛的約束帶釋放出來，原來我們不敢說的敢說了，原來我們不敢做的敢做了。甚至變本加厲，異常極端，電影中出現(xiàn)的很多情節(jié)讓你感覺仿佛不是去酒吧找樂子，更像是對很多之前禁忌的獵奇，而無辜的女孩就成為其中的玩偶，他們的痛苦就像是反應的結果，出現(xiàn)才是正常的，才夠滿足他們的好奇。

       經(jīng)歷了千辛萬苦，想救出的女孩終究還是死了，當做了殺雞儆猴中的雞，看著挺心酸，但是我覺得確實最好的結局。她所遭受的痛苦，是那種死亡可以替代的，死亡還是平靜的，折磨卻沒有止境。可能，我是說可能，拯救出的她們沒有技能，沒有能力，或許還有很多又會做回老本行，但是，那種存在的尊嚴儼然可以被稱之為人?。。∵@很重要~~~

整部影片幾乎都處于黑暗背景下，即使在白天，也是出于幽暗閉塞的樓體，濃霧陰暗的天氣乃至茂密的叢林中。貫穿著一股壓抑，灰敗的氣氛。
承認是因為莫妮卡貝魯奇才看的電影，但最終吸引我的不是性感女神，而單單是一個故事。
請原諒我的淺薄，我無法理解為什么有的人批判這部電影為題材陳舊。任何一個國家，在一部公映的影片中，刻畫一樁政治丑聞，不得不說，這都是一種勇氣。
影片確實處處透露美國的個人英雄主義，但與大多數(shù)商業(yè)片不同的是，我認為這不是一部單純?yōu)榱藠蕵泛推狈空Q生出的影片?，F(xiàn)代社會原本人們引以為豪的藝術越發(fā)淪為牟利的工具，電影，書，音樂，越來越趨向同一化。變得越發(fā)沒有內(nèi)涵，我看到的是利益和淺薄。批量化生產(chǎn)的熒幕英雄帶給我們的也無非是一笑置之而就此忘卻。
而在這個人們無處釋放壓力的快節(jié)奏社會里，我們不能對生活和命運的壓抑嘶吼，無力反抗，于是依靠電影來娛樂自己釋放自己。其實很多時候我都在懷疑，是不是人們都在依靠這些虛擬的世界，依靠畫面和數(shù)字，來尋找自己，找激情，找青春，找愛，甚至于，找良知。
苦難深埋在世界各個角落，我無法做到對于這樣一樁真實發(fā)生的，且每天乃至每刻都在發(fā)生的悲劇，僅僅冠以一串數(shù)字的名頭。我有個老師教過，看電影這種事情，外行看內(nèi)容，內(nèi)行看形式。但我無法做到。我始終認為，電影存在的意義沒有拯救靈魂那么偉大，但至少能讓我們看到世界不同的一面，讓我們有感知，有感情，在痛苦的時候能因為感覺到自己仍是有血有肉的人，而得到一絲慰藉。
如果電影的存在僅僅只是用來表達或紀念某些形式或拍攝手法，那么我只會覺得那是一種枯燥而毫無意義的傳承。最終會被拋棄。
是因為社會顛覆了善有善報的傳統(tǒng)，于是人們變得越發(fā)麻木，我相信并非人本性冷酷，而是世界教會我們，我們犧牲了自己，卻未必能保得他人。懲惡揚善。于是才有了明哲保身，遠離是非。
在一些人冰冷的評價著每年250萬人口被販賣時，我只能覺得是一種良知的喪失。也許我們都不是英雄，我們看到卑鄙，卻無法對抗，我們做不了女主那樣犧牲自我而護衛(wèi)良知的抉擇。從而選擇逃避，但是，仍希望在我們可以做的時候，別只覺得處在災難中的人民，只是一串數(shù)字，就像一部電影，只是幾個演員，幾臺機器。
任何一具身體，都透露著生命的氣息，在那些女孩驚慌大叫的時候，我亦感到恐懼。作為一個導演，將情感傳達出來，就足夠讓我滿意。鏡頭打在 人性 這個詞上的那一刻，我忽然因為自己的善良僅僅只是給沒有飯吃的人們幾個硬幣，而自慚形穢。
英雄是存在的，但當人們麻木時，英雄將被淹沒。
不談道德，僅僅是為了維護生而為人的良知與人性，我們需要面臨的都太多。需要付出的也太多。
作為最普通的社會一份子，我們大概時時處在一種被操控中。但仍愿相信希望，并保有對生活最基本的希望與熱忱。堅定的走下去。
