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.
