Aided by the UN High Commissioner for human rights in Bosnia Madeleine Rees Vanessa Redgrave and a sympathetic compatriot in HR David Strathairn, Kathy assembles all the evidence to expose her crooked colleagues, only to be discouraged, then threatened, then fired by her higher ups. Its a typical trajectory for any whistleblower story, but with the girls who have told their stories to Kathy still stuck in slavery, the stakes are incredibly high. Without ever drawing blatant comparisons between Kathys struggle against the male dominated UN and the girls fighting with their abusive captors, Kondracki effectively tells The Whistleblowwer as a broad story about women fighting back against impossible odds. Kathy may be in an immeasurably more privileged position that the sex slaves, but shes still struggling in the same circumstances that insist on treating women as second class citizens.The opening of Julian Lennonxe2x80x99s Timeless The Photography of Julian Lennon last night at New Yorkxe2x80x99s Morrison Hotel Gallery, was, as you might expect, jam packed.

He used to take a couple Polaroidxe2x80x99s, but it wasnxe2x80x99t a potential career.

Youve seen us do it enough times He was encouraging me to make something and I was being very stubborn, saying No, I dont have any original ideas until one day I did have an original idea, and he just encouraged me to go for it What I ended up doing was just sort of surrounding myself with people who werent going to let me fall on my ass, which was probably the best thing I could have done as a first time filmmaker That included Mark and it also included Ben Kasulke and Nat Sanders, and in the end, it included Dax, and they were all people who sort of jumped on board and were working for the greater common cause of the movie.
