Christopher Nolan, director: We need to take risks

“The biggest risk in motion pictures is to not take a risk. You have to be putting it out there and offering people something new, and that's what will get them out of their houses.” Katie Razzall speaks to Oscar-winning filmmaker Christopher Nolan. The 55-year-old, whose directing credits include Inception, Interstellar and Oppenheimer, is widely considered one of the 21st century’s most influential filmmakers. Born in London in 1970, his career began in the mid-1990s, when he would proofread scripts, operate cameras and direct for corporate information films. Barely a decade later, he was chosen to direct Christian Bale as Batman in The Dark Knight trilogy, setting a new standard for how superheroes were portrayed on screen. A string of blockbusters followed, making him one of the highest-grossing directors of all time, and was later knighted in 2024 for his services to film. He’s now releasing his latest project, The Odyssey - an ambitious adaptation of Homer’s ancient Greek story, starring a Hollywood A-List cast, including Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway and Zendaya.

#27 - Leben mit Krebs. Im Gespräch mit Ida Schacher über Hoffnung, Mut und die Kraft gemeinsam durch schwere Zeiten zu gehen.

Eine Krebsdiagnose teilt das Leben in zwei Teile: das Davor und das Danach. Von einem Moment auf den anderen ist nichts mehr, wie es war. Die Diagnose Krebs trifft jedes Jahr viele Menschen - und ihre Angehörigen. Sie bringt Angst, Fragen und Unsicherheiten mit sich. Doch es gibt Hilfe und Begleitung. Und wie wichtige diese ist, habe ich als Kind erfahren, als meine beiden Eltern in kurzer Zeit an Krebs erkrankten. Die 27. Folge von #imGespräch ist somit eine ganz besondere. Ich spreche mit Ida Schacher darüber, was es bedeutet, als junge Mutter plötzlich die Diagnose Brustkrebs zu erhalten? Wie findet man die Kraft, weiterzukämpfen? Und warum ist es so wichtig, Menschen an seiner Seite zu haben, die zuhören, begleiten und Hoffnung schenken? Ida Schacher stand viele Jahre der Südtiroler Krebshilfe als Präsidentin vor, heute ist sie Vizepräsidentin der Südtiroler Krebshilfe. Ida erzählt offen und berührend von ihrer eigenen Geschichte: von der Krebsdiagnose in jungen Jahren, von den Ängsten und Herausforderungen, aber auch von der Unterstützung, die ihr Kraft gegeben hat. Aus ihrer persönlichen Erfahrung ist ein jahrzehntelanges Engagement für andere Betroffene entstanden. Ein ehrliches, bewegendes und zugleich hoffnungsvolles Gespräch über das Leben, den Zusammenhalt und den Mut, niemals aufzugeben.

Sonam Wangchuk, Indian activist: Hunger strike for education reform

“This movement was by young people who had hardly anything to lose. We had no fear and that's what spread across the country and today people are raising their voices. This time it stopped at the education ministry, but if this continues, I think the younger generation may not stop at just education.” Rajini Vaidyanathan speaks to Indian activist Sonam Wangchuk, whose 26-day hunger strike made him a central figure in youth-led protests over leaked exam papers. The anger about leaks broadened into frustration over limited opportunities for young people, and the demonstrations became one of the biggest public displays of dissent against Narendra Modi’s BJP government. Sonam ended his fast after receiving assurances on education reform. Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan later resigned, one of the key demands from the protestors. He explains his belief that non-violent protest can influence those in power, the physical risk you take if you stage a hunger strike, and why the movement may not stop at education.

Jim Continenza, Kodak CEO: Reinventing a brand

“We were losing about $160 million a year. We burned through our cash and we had to make some changes. I don’t mean a financial restructuring. I mean transformation of the business. It’s a skill and an art. I asked, ‘What does Kodak do today?’ and I couldn’t get an answer. And I thought we had to get our identity back. What are our skills? What do we do?” Leanna Byrne speaks to Jim Continenza, chief executive of Kodak, the company that once dominated photography and became one of the world’s most recognisable brands. The rise of digital photography helped trigger one of the most dramatic corporate collapses of its era, leading to Kodak filing for bankruptcy in 2012. Jim joined the company’s board during the bankruptcy process, after building a career as a turnaround specialist. He had served on more than 30 boards, often stepping in when struggling businesses needed to be reconstructed. He discusses how he helped to give the company a new identity, rebuild itself as an industrial manufacturer and brought the business back from the brink.
