Sara Thompson is a Peace Corps whistleblower who volunteered in Burkina Faso. She came out of her service with medical complications due to mefloquine, a controversial anti-malaria medicine administered by the Corps.
Almost a decade later, Thompson still experiences severe side effects from mefloquine toxicity, and has been denied redress by the Corps and the courts. After finishing her service, Thompson became an advocate for whistleblower protections on Capitol Hill, fighting for volunteers who faced hardships during their service and found no support from the Corps upon returning home.
