Political scandal has always been fertile ground for cinema. Whistleblowers—those who risk careers, reputations, and even freedom to expose secrets—remain some of the most compelling figures on screen. From Deep Throat in Watergate to Edward Snowden in the digital age, Hollywood has dramatized the tension between truth, loyalty, and power. In this post, we’ll explore how whistleblowers have been portrayed in film and television through five defining works: All the President’s Men (1976), The Post (2017), White House Plumbers (2023), Snowden (2016), and The Fifth Estate (2013). Together, they reveal how each era grapples with secrecy and accountability.

The 100th Air Refueling Wing (100th ARW), nicknamed the Bloody Hundredth, is a United States Air Force unit assigned to the Third Air Force, United States Air Forces in Europe – Air Forces Africa. It is stationed at RAF Mildenhall, Suffolk, United Kingdom. It is also the host wing at RAF Mildenhall. The 100th ARW is the only permanent U.S. air refueling wing in the European theater, operating the Boeing KC-135R/T Stratotanker. During World War II, its predecessor unit, the 100th Bombardment Group (Heavy), was an Eighth Air Force B-17 Flying Fortress unit in England, stationed at RAF Thorpe Abbotts. Flying over 300 combat missions, the group earned two Distinguished Unit Citations (Regensburg, 17 August 1943; Berlin, 4/6/8 March 1944). The group suffered tremendous losses in combat, with 177 aircraft missing in action (MIA), flying its last mission on 20 April 1945. One of the wing's honors is that it is the only modern USAF operational wing allowed to display on its assigned aircraft the tail code (Square-D) of its World War II predecessor. The 379th Bomb Wing used its Triangle-K tail code until deactivated in 1993, but when reactivated as the 379th Air Expeditionary Wing was assigned a rotating mix of flying squadrons who used their parent unit's tail code. The Triangle-K is retained as an unofficial unit insignia.
