Very relevant issue to our setting too….but seems to be a very challenging task…is there a manual or guide for this, whistleblowing tool you are mentioning..? Are you using that as a framework for your video, pod casts? Best to start with some framework… so that your video don’t cross the line.. People with power…must be waiting, or actually planning to how to take you down if you raise your voice on such issues…
See post and articles on Indian Lokpal bill civil uprising…might help you…
Don’t let my words discourage you’ll….it a great Issue…but a path less traveled… and as said “the path less traveled will definitely lead you to greatness… Best of Luck
