THE WHITE LIST

2023

Crime, Drama, Mystery

Duration 1 hour 40 minutes

description:

During a nationwide moral panic caused by a recent spike in teenage suicides two federal investigators are sent to a small Russian town to review a cold case involving a suspicious death of a schoolgirl. Initially seeing their task as a mere PR stunt both gradually start to loose their focus as they venture deeper into the paranoid world of conspiracy theories surrounding the case.

The script is inspired by 2016's "Blue Whale Challenge" controversy caused by a newspaper investigation that linked a number of unrelated teenage suicides across Russia to a "suicide game" allegedly played by teenagers on a Russian social network VK.
