You experience this is well thought out and defend the one thing to leave it up this i experienced it personally when i was thirty two and i was at channel four in britain for contract negotiations on a production that lasted the whole day and my producer hartman curler and i said goodbye and went back to our hotel. But five or ten minutes later the phone rang. And there producer said i have to talk to you again and im coming to the hotel. I have to talk to you again im coming to the hotel and that will and i said no im not available its too late but he said im coming so i called mr keller and told him to get dressed and be down by the fireplace in five minutes and thats all we sat by the fire the producer stormed in and it was clear he was headed for my room he saw us sitting there and said i just. Wanted to say good night good night thats what the next day i received a rejection from channel four of the stuff and under this point thats how it goes but it didnt faze me because i got other projects instead. Of to the last were you surprised by the intensity of the debate. Yes because i thought it wasnt such a big problem. When it comes to my own siegler companies we are always watching out for our employees unfortunately. And we have the Great Fortune that the staff are predominantly women. We have forty four women and seven men and theyre the ones whod like special representation. And i can just say that for our company which i run together with tanya. Your daughter yes shes a great producer with and knows what she wants i can say for our company i am sure that we do not have these problems. Cynthia acuna birthday is march eighth International Womens day so why wins a shes must be Second Nature to you what has to happen to break the power of these men and curtail this abuse of power and money. Well in the last few weeks and months the men have come to understand this. I recently found a good friend who runs a big company. He says he wont get into an elevator anymore if my woman is alone and. Thats already a Great Success a few months ago no one would have thought like natl good. I think its been a wake up call. People are realizing that things have changed and times have changed if you know. This to tighten. The van you have. You were under thirty when you founded your First Business and of course men in the industry were just waiting for you to fail or to. Think and im thinking but you showed them what was the hardest thing you had to do to survive in the industry. I know it is they were thinking she was that Production Assistant on t. V. To help with her. Smile and so i always introduced myself talk to them nicely and let them know that i wasnt a threat. Or not and after two years they said how did she manage that. Because she got a movie award right away or and the critics prize and her t. V. Mini series was a big hit. And then they said hey we can work with her. And the old guys started being nice to me. Bellina said that right now berlins gone movie crazy with the Film Festival underway and there are female actors and directors who say they want equality on the red carpet too everyone should be able to decide for themselves what to wear so high heels skimpy dresses and an immaculate appearance shouldnt be so important what will you be wearing at the brother not a. Big fan of. And have lots of his items in every shade of purple red. Comfortable in them they dont crease and you can wash them by hand yourself works for me of course to the mission operandi sometimes also get involved in politics youve supported chancellor Angela Merkel in her election campaigns now shes under on preset dented pressure. Germany still doesnt have a government and theres criticism from within merkels own ranks that she should now start looking towards the exits and find a successor. Is that fair. Show was confirmed as chancellor at the last election but she has been reelected voters decided until americans should spend another four years in office. And i think how she does that is wonderful stuff. On v. Z. This month when she is recognized throughout the world as a top politician who has done so much for other countries few of under the lend i think her commitment to refugees is very important and rightly. But germans were also refugees after both world wars and if the americans hadnt kept west berlin supplied with the airlift during the soviet block a it would not have been able to survive and so for me uncle americal is a really great and powerful moment and she will solve the problem of forming a new government. I think so her power isnt waning no i dont think shell want to be chancellor again next time you want to show manage this one and im good well and she will do it with gusto often on disability. And its something that you and other celebrities time to market for her refugee policy with a large bouquet of roses and i asked her of prostitutes African Police but now the borders are almost closed and its more difficult for refugees to guess and including to germany but would you send another book a of roses to the chancellor today and plan to get outside but if in of course because i think the refugee policy should not be abandoned. We also have a responsibility and an obligation to support the refugees living in germany and help them to integrate in mr here and we must give them a chance to live like human beings and let them bring their families here. We still have a lot to do and you cant say were done now you have to keep it going for many years to come. I think in your work you travel around the world how do you look at germany in europe today where the Political Rights is growing i strength where borders are being closed again where people are divided into good and evil does that worry you one more thing does. Me short yes im worried. Because i really think these are very unsettling developments. If im very concerned about the right. I dont think things can go on like this. Something has to be done to come and and maybe you can see that when the new a grand coalition or whatever government is formed that they will work on explaining things properly but. You mentioned off. On. How interested are you personally in the dramas that are unfolding now over there are ice and fall of politicians like Martin Schultz because they are not by mocking fear was unanimously elected as chairman of the social democrats a year ago type of the think of it and has now been practically driven out of office. With the story have movie potential for you know. Somebody of course core example we made a two point film about the last three weeks before chancellor villi plan to resign i. Looked and we did very detailed research. And brian son played the spy who caused his downfall and it. Was really powerful. And very interested in political film and also contemporary history. Methods and we recently made a movie about the nineteen eighty eight hostage crisis in claude back. That was another big challenge. You monday we had to find out how the situation with these criminals could get so out of control that they could even hijack a bus and then let photographers in to take pictures of the hostages. Guys and you know it was unbelievable and that was such a challenge and i think its turned into a very effective and powerful movie. I think then yeah it was your goal when you produced the fell for the. Film is your passion for do you have the ambition to change or improve the world or to very. Best for. You know thats not something i can do at all i want to tell stories that are important to me that i believe are of interest to other people because i really dont want to aim for the gutter. I have the success i dreamed of and that really depends on the stories. I think theres a lot of german history thats still to be told. Were doing a new season of the series vice and see which has already gone around the world on the first three seasons are on netflix. And i want the series to keep going to now in the summer of one thousand nine hundred just before german reunification. But after that theres the gold in the ninetys and theres still a lot of ground to cover other historic developments today. And didnt give them a commission from cloth my finally id like to ask you to complete these sentences from my mother a reporter and a film critic i learned and how its going down theres no such thing as cant be done. For im going to work i wish death. That she can follow the path she wants in good conscience just because. You have you lost your husband to cancer getting older and being alone means a story to me. Working more producing more films that my daughter and granddaughter would want to see. They made sure the me to debase. Will be very effective because its on the right track. Thank you for talking to us im going to youre welcome and heres my autobiography theres no such thing as cant be done great very nice. They make a commitment. They find. They inspire a. Story about people making a difference in shaping their nation. And their continent. Has news. For africa
