The Sitting Duck (French: La Syndicaliste, lit. 'The Trade Unionist')[4] is a 2022 French-language thriller film directed by Jean-Paul Salomé from a screenplay he co-wrote with Fadette Drouard.[1] The film is a co-production between France and Germany.
The film is an adaptation of the 2019 book of the same name written by Caroline Michel-Aguirre, an investigative journalist for L'Obs.[5] The book reported on Maureen Kearney, an Irish trade unionist for the nuclear power company Areva. She became a whistleblower when she revealed a secret deal between the state-owned utility Electricité de France and a Chinese power company, which Kearney feared would transfer sensitive nuclear technology from Areva to China and threaten thousands of French jobs.[4] Following her revelations, Kearney was subjected to anonymous threats which culminated in a violent attack in her home in 2012.[6]
The film stars Isabelle Huppert as Kearney. It had its world premiere at the 79th Venice International Film Festival on 2 September 2022.
