The Whistleblower Interview Project

is a joint project with the film-maker Niels Ladefoged to create a documentary archive of interviews with people who have made public interest disclosures. They discuss why and how they blew the whistle, the consequences of their actions, and what their feelings are now. This project has brought their stories to thousands who would not otherwise know of the importance of what they do, the sacrifices they often made, and some of the important lessons learned.

The project started in 2011 with a generous grant from the Democracy & Media Foundation to

the Centre for Investigative Journalism (CIJ) from an application to assist in developing support, defence and public understanding of Whistleblowers. The CIJ received an additional grant from the Foundation to continue this work in 2014-15. The interviews are specially designed for students of journalism, law, anthropology and other social and humanitarian studies.
