The Film Courage youtube channel has begun releasing parts of an interview with Udwin.

Untitled

I want to query the credibility of one of the cites in the footnotes http://www.newindianexpress.com/business/news/Documentary-on-2012-Nirbhaya-Gang-Rape-Banned-in-India/2015/03/04/article2697514.ece

Currently the article begins "The embattled filmmaker who is stuck in the Nirbhaya documentary controversy was born in Birmingham, UK."

Yet the 4th paragraph from the end states "Leslee reportedly had panic attacks and felt as if her soul was ‘dipped in tar’ while interviewing Mukesh. Mukesh agreed for the interview after his mother insisted him. What shocks the Israel-born filmmaker is the mindset of the culprit which she wants to highlight to the world, so that she everyone can understand the genesis of gender inequality that answers a crucial question as to “Why do men rape?”"

Its not possible to be born twice, is it? And "Birmingham UK" is in no way part of "Isreal"

I recognise that the 'error' doesn't impact the stub as it stands but I think it raises grave doubts about the credibility of the New India Express

I tried to draw their attention to this inconsistency via their comments section but my post is still in the moderation queue, I've also queried it to their twitter account & they've yet to respond.

I do understand that there's been a religious festival in India (Holi) & that they may be short-staffed since i first drew their attention to it.

I also note that they mention her being "Israeli-born" in this article http://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/Interview-with-Nirbhaya-Rape-Convict-FIR-Registered/2015/03/04/article2697002.ece

Leaving aside their sloppy proof-reading & possibly poor fact checking, it strikes me as very likely that they are mentioning an 'Israeli' birth coz they've some agenda of their own.

So I feel that citing NIE as a credible source deserves some serious re-evaluation

fwiw Udwin's IMDB says she was born in Birmingham UK ^[1]

OK forget all this as, in the last ten minutes they've amended the text to say 'lives in Birmingham'

i still feel they're probably a bit dodgy

I don't think any of those cites support the statement that she was born in Israel 86.187.59.90 (talk) 14:31, 8 March 2015 (UTC) avsp 8th march 2014 14:31-ish[reply]

The final paragraph in the Controversies section referencing Jimmy Saville

To claim this is a genuine controversy, you would have to cite some sort of newspaper article terming it a controversy from an accepted Wikipedia source - the only citation which links Leslee Udwin to Jimmy Saville is a twitter post, hardly usable as a citation. This is transparently an edit made for ideological reasons in order to claim the presence of a controversy where none exists. I'm going to remove it, and I would appreciate a dialogue on the validity of its inclusion before anyone adds it back.
