That happens because the pronoun in this case is the subject of the phrase. To realize that, all you have to do is to change the order of the words in the sentence to phrase it like this:
<em>"He is the record producer"</em>
<em />
Same words, but now it is clear that HE is the subject, therefore it should be in the form of He, not Him.
I believe this is an 'internal' conflict, because she has to decide on whether to confront her two opposing thoughts of whether to defend the people who hate her or to use violence to gain human rights
