Whistleblower

This tense and blackly comic shot of corporate kabuki exposes intra-company rivalries, subterfuge, betrayal and corruption, not to mention donut thievery!

It is the tale of two rival sales teams within Tokyo Kenden, led by the terrifying bully Kitagawa. The hapless Harashima’s team cannot make sales targets while Sakado has hit his targets 35 months in a row. Something is fishy and the lazy, sneering second-in-command Hakkaku may hold the key to unlocking the mystery. But will he bring down the entire company in the process?

An intricate, fact-paced satire of Japanese corporate life.
