The 13th annual Whistleblower Summit & Film Festival will make its historic return to Arkansas this summer, offering a powerful retreat for truth-tellers amid today's challenging political landscape. Live events will be hosted at prestigious venues including the Clinton Presidential Library Center, Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts, and the Martha Mitchell House & Museum from July 30 to August 1, 2025, with extended hybrid programming running from July 27 to August 3.
This year's compelling theme, "Whistleblowers—Now More Than Ever," underscores the critical role whistleblowers play in ensuring transparency and accountability in our democracy. The festival will feature groundbreaking films, renowned speakers, and thought-provoking panel discussions celebrating those who risk everything to expose corruption and wrongdoing."
Democracies rely on whistleblowers," emphasizes Marcel Reid, Co-Founder and Festival Director. "While we typically hold the summit on Capitol Hill, this year we're creating a whistleblower retreat in Arkansas, away from Washington's drama, offering our community a unique opportunity to reenergize and reorganize at the historic Clinton Library."
THE PREMIER PLATFORM FOR WHISTLEBLOWERS
The Whistleblower Summit & Film Festival is the largest gathering of whistleblowers and the only festival dedicated to honoring whistleblowers and first amendment activism. This annual event weaves together film screenings and professional symposiums, creating a powerful nexus where whistleblowers, advocates, policymakers, journalists, and filmmakers converge to engage in groundbreaking investigative storytelling that illuminates issues of free speech, civil and human rights, and social justice."
This year's summit represents a meaningful pilgrimage to Arkansas, home of perhaps America's greatest whistleblower—Martha Mitchell," says Michael McCray, Co-Founder and Managing Director. "Our democracy faces unprecedented challenges, and we need courageous truth-tellers like her now more than ever."
