Before the world wide web helped whistleblowers spread their revelations, films captured their stories. “Serpico” (1973) is one such movie, focusing on corruption in law enforcement. It was adapted for the big screen by author and journalist Peter Mass’s book of the same title about the famed former New York Police Department (NYPD) officer and the subject of the film, Frank Serpico (Al Pacino). The movie was directed by Sidney Lumet.
