Kitty Green is a renowned Australian documentary filmmaker who, based in the US, has earned her place with works of great inventiveness and special sensitivity to address difficult issues.
This happened with Ukraine is not a brothel (2013), which was a success throughout Europe by portraying Femen, the famous feminist group of that country and its war against patriarchy.
She also received many good reviews in 2015 for The Face of Ukraine: Casting Oksana, while two years later she surprised with Casting JonBenet, which tells the best known child murder case in the world.
The new film
Green goes for more and she now prepares to debut in fiction, although it is a story inspired by real, current events.
The Assistant, the film based on the famous case of producer Harvey Weinstein, follows an aspiring filmmaker who works for a powerful, abusive media tycoon.
Performed by Emmy winner Julia Garner, the protagonist takes her first steps in a working world that will lead her to discover firsthand the network of abuses that is often behind the scenes of great Hollywood productions.
A must- see film!
