...1930s, which Gulpilil showed De Heer in Arnhem Land. "We need 10 canoes," said the actor, who had starred in De Heer's previous film, The Tracker (2002).

...clearly based on the 2002 London conference of exiled leaders that Khalilzad presided over. "Sometimes meetings went on until 3 or 4 in the morning," he says as his SUV roars to his next appointment. "That may be what's required to get this job done at a faster pace." A major impediment is the current Prime Minister. Al-Jaafari is clinging to control despite widespread dissatisfaction with his tenure.
