The White List (Russian: Белый список, translit. Beliy Spisok) is a 2023 Russian police procedural drama film directed by Alisa Khazanova from the script by Roman Volobuev and starring Aleksei Serebryakov.[1] The film is loosely based on the events surrounding the police investigation of Blue Whale Challenge controversy in 2016.[2]
Plot
[edit]In the midst of a nationwide moral panic caused by a newspaper article linking a recent spike in teenage suicides across Russia to a viral 'suicide game' two federal investigators are sent to a small Russian town of Podolsk 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 lose their focus as they venture deeper into the paranoid world of conspiracy theories surrounding the case.[3]
