The Whistleblower of My Lai tackles the concept of heroism, the definition of morality in wartime, and guilt both personal and national. The film follows the Kronos Quartet's production of Jonathan Berger and Harriet Chessman's opera My Lai, which takes at its heart the actions and life of the whistleblower who revealed the 1968 massacre by U.S. troops in Vietnam.
