War on Whistleblowers: Free Press and the National Security State is a documentary that highlights four cases where whistleblowers noticed government wrong-doing and took to the media to expose the fraud and abuse. Their actions in exposing corruption ended up destroying their lives.
As stated in WikiPedia:
War on Whistleblowers highlights recent cases where American government employees and contractors took to the media to expose fraud and abuse. In all cases the whistleblowing was to the detriment of their professional and personal lives. With President Obama’s commitment to transparency and the passage of the Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act, there was hope that whistleblowers would finally have more protection and encouragement to speak up. But according to the film, times have never been worse for national security whistleblowers. Obama’s administration has attacked more whistleblowers under the Espionage Act than all previous administrations combined. According to Whistleblowers, journalists are also harassed for covering these stories.
