"To you This is kaz trix in stony Stratford England I've been listening to OS conversations on the World Service Violence in Mexico is widespread and we want to focus today on those who put themselves at risk to tell the stories of what is happening In the first few weeks of this year I'm finding it a really powerful program bringing people together across the world who are experiencing the same thing is absolutely fascinating It's really important for us as listeners who might not be experiencing those things in our lives to hear the real experiences of other people It's just take me back to the murders finding out about from overnight What do we know about them so far Well we know that very probably linked to drug smuggling or cartel is great having journalists and correspondents tell us the stories But hearing the story from the people who are actually living it is really interesting and important for us to hear Well I'm joined on the line now by the series editor Simon peaks and the producers soon Nelson the addition we just played a clip from that looked at the dangers of being a journalist in Mexico was pretty shocking Indeed you had to preface that program by advising listeners of upsetting a disturbing content Simon what unites all these different editions What's the show's editorial brief So the show sort of came from the start of the pandemic really And actually we were kind of having these conversations on a sort of daily basis on the OS program on the weekday program But sort of individually And it just felt at that point with the pandemic that the world was kind of going through something together And actually we could do with kind of collectively bringing all of these conversations together in one place And so we struck upon the idea of a single program that did that And I think interestingly we thought about a title for the show We thought about calling it togetherness And actually that didn't stick as a title of the program But I think essentially that is still the essence that kind of goes through the program I think that struck me with it as well is that sort of sense of the connections that it makes which your callers of highlights there as well And it's kind of interesting that when you speak to some people you hear people in conversation They say things like I've never spoken to someone else about this before Or I've never had the chance to share this experience before Or they say to us as well afterwards that actually they've kind of made a friend thanks to the program by us introducing somebody on the other side of the world to them And so tell me how do you actually put the show together and how do you find the contributors I don't find the contributors This is where this wonderful partnership divides but eventually unites in that Simon's team the producers they find the contributors Obviously the presenters and the reporters they will do the interviews And then I get the material as an independent pair of ears I've usually not heard those conversations go out originally I tried to get the raw material as well rather than the edited version because my thoughts on oh wow that's interesting It won't necessarily chime but having said that most of the time they do And the difficulty in the job is often choosing what to leave out because so much of the material is superb And do you think Simon that it addresses a kind of perceived gap in the World Service output before then I mean all these kind of programs are they seeing something that was missing before that they're now trying to fill I think one of the roles of OS is to be close to its audience and to reflect the sort of global conversations that the audience is happening And I think as well from audience research we sort of know that audiences tend to relate to and engage with the human story And if you can take a big issue such as the pandemic such as what is happening in Ukraine but you can hear that through the voices of the people living through it It really just resonate with the audiences So I certainly think it serves that purpose And it's more than just extra leftover material that you couldn't fit into the program itself just being recycled I almost had to stop myself from shouting when you said leftovers They're doing on a daily basis in a hurry I have several days to listen very carefully and craft it and choose the best bits And that's what's so difficult about it Because there is that light and shade I moved or if I go wow I've not heard that before Oh my goodness It's those sort of you just stop and listen moments So it doesn't matter whether it's about the Olympics or climate change or coronavirus or Ukraine It's humanity Soon Nelson and Simon peaks thank.

But we have an opportunity to be on this landscape and to pursue black and indigenous led food sovereignty. From here. I first encountered Chris through his writing. He's been chronicling his own adventures as new entrepreneurial farmer. Who has come up against a lot of the profound hypocrisy ease in sustainable food production. And he wrote this manifesto. Clean food If you want to save the world, get over yourself. Get over yourself. Chris means that organic farmers need to be less precious about their methods they need to embrace new ways of growing healthy food. That everyone can afford. I grew up around poverty. And grew up around people who were food, insecure and who were financially secure in this movement is never going to gain traction or take off or become a mass movement. If we're not appealing beyond people who were in the luxury sector to make his food more affordable, Chris uses old and new tools to farm his farm. Is a really fascinating blend of traditional approaches the farming and technology and the more time I spent with Chris and Annie, the more I began to see what they describe as this kind of personal Wauconda this this food rich forest ecosystem. That he imagines will be managed, intended by intelligent machines by robotic harvesters. Uh, a a place where technology exists. To serve and elevate nature he has, you know, drones and electrical fences for managed grazing and cameras and software.

Stu and they're also gonna kill everything white insight. I wouldn't worry about it. I wouldn't worry about it. You know it well. It did sound. A little. like louis farrakhan But you know as louis farrakhan ever killed anybody. Don't answer that Let me see if i can rephrase. That as louis farrakhan killed more than one person. I'd i don't know. I don't know i don't know no idea but i will say Watch out for those january. Six writers. I look i i. It's so you know this is everywhere right now. There's this i'm sure you've been up on the On this because it's sports related glenn but there is a controversy where kyrie irving is a basketball player. Who believes earth is flat he. He went to the boston celtics. I'm sorry could you repeat that i miss. I miss her. The boston celtics. Yes okay and he believes the earth is right and so he went to the boston. Celtics as okay hang on hang on. Can we not skip over. The earth was flat. I think that's what i'm hearing. That is that actually believes the earth is flat yet. He did say this in a podcast at one point he was flat and he doesn't see curvature and so okay he's sand. We're listening to. We're listening to him and further comments. Why well because he saying the right thing about race see even a guy who thinks the earth is flat if they say the right thing if they say the right anti-racist thing on the right day they can still be listened to because their opinion is vital so this guy went to fix and told was made a big deal about the pain of millions and millions of dollars. They're going to win multiple championships and then he completely quit on the team. Completely on the team and leaves to go to another city to build a super team with other superstars in in in brooklyn so boston doesn't really like them all that much right and they're not the no longer fans so they're playing each other in the playoffs right now and so as they're about to play in boston kyrie irving says you know. I too hope it's about basketball. Not all that racism. You know the boston people. The racism is strong in boston. And i just hope that they're not racist to me when i get there now. This flies in the face of his two thousand nineteen story about when he said he had never seen any racism in boston but he's updated his opinion and now boston is very racist so as he goes to play this in this city where he's criticized them as racist and abandon them after taking millions of dollars as he's walking off the court and someone throws a water bottle adam. That is now evidence that he was right. Boston is racist town. Racism is huge deal. Obviously everyone's racist against not worried about the whole was the. What was the bottle shaped as well shaped like a bottle all right all right all right. Let me show you a bottle here okay. What does this look like what. What kind of shape is that here. A bottle no. It's it's it's like if this were the head this would be the nabet even call it the neck of the bottle. Okay you know accusing so it's kind of shaped like a weird oddly shaped person. Well i don't think anything could be shaped shaped anything if it's oddly shaped than it will like it and i think when you when you're looking at a water bottle and you're immediately thinking that's a person and i think that's a person and it's a white person because most water bottles have whitecaps. I think that is a clan member so a clan member attacked him This weekend was it this weekend where the plan was attacking him. I think i feel how what what do you think. That's more bizarre than the earth is flat hustler turf you know the name there the makers of the best zero turn lawn mowers both for landscaping and professionals and now regular homeowners as well with deck sizes as small as thirty four inches would will fit through most residential gates all the way up to one hundred in four inches where you know i read this stat the first time and i had to call him and go wait a minute.

"He didn't use one piece of business and he was a huge success and it's Chris said I knew from that moment on that son of a bitch was gonna be a star. He was still being Christmas. Still quite a star. Hey, when he came to Stratford in the you know, even even even later in life. I mean, it must have been a huge deal to the town he would show up. Yes, enormous and his star evolved. I mean, he was, you know a bad boy in the early years and had real power and danger, And he always preserved that danger. But after bury more things changed, he had up Tilbury more. I think in those years and the you know he became a bit discounted as career sometimes do. He was rediscovered with that part and then Lear and then Lear that we took to New York and in his later years when he won the Oscar, he had morphed into someone. Who was perhaps a little bit more impish more of a twinkle in his eye. I suppose he always had that. But he was no longer the kind of Uh, bad boy that he was in the early years, and he made a huge difference to the festival. At every turn. I feel like he made a big difference to Canadian theater in general, because I mean, when Christopher Plummer started its Trafford and 56, as you mentioned when he was in his twenties, how different was Canadian theater back then, when he started out Well, you know the thing about he left the country in the early fifties he had to, as most actors had to in those years because there wasn't really much of Canadian theater at that time. And as he says, you know, I got to New York And then all of a sudden I hear that the world changing theatrical event is back in my home. Country and Stratford, Ontario, and so he came back. He you know, at that time there, there wasn't much going on. As I said, however, for someone like Chris, he soaked up everything that was there and used it as a launching pad toe work all over the world. London, New York on film on stage So you know, he, uh, He was extraordinary and pioneering Canadian actor like From what I understand. In those early days, it was mainly English actors leading productions as opposed to someone like Chris. Yes, That's right. He had you know, and his friends like Bruno Jerusalem, and the people that he worked with Schattner and others were developing a uniquely Canadian style, a different sensibility. That was all our own. That had emotional depth to it, but also had technique. It was something that combined the very best of the British in the American traditions and And you know, he had a lot of arrows in his, you know skills. I mean, he was a brilliant pianist. There was one day when he was playing Hamlet, Tom and he it was early in the rehearsals, and he noticed the figure that was there in the audience. Not that time Stretcher Festival also had an incredible music. Uh, serious of concerts with extraordinary figures from throughout the world. And so, But, you know, Um Chris was bothered by a person being there early in the rear. So so he called over the director Michael Hang on this, he said rather grandly is he said, Michael, I can't concentrate with that person there. I can't see what it is. But could you please tell them to leave? And so, Michael said, Perhaps you might join me for a moment. Chris and he brought him down. And he said, Chris, this is Duke Ellington. Oh, my God was composing a syriza of musical pieces on Shakespeare because he loves Shakespeare. And so I mean, Chris nearly swallowed his upper plate. He he walked backwards, a genuflecting And single. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's pleasure to meet you. So the world was different in those days and it was it was. It was just the beginnings of the theaters. We know it today across Canada. If you're just tuning in, this is Cube. We're talking about the late Canadian actor Christopher Plummer, who died last Friday for more than seven decades, a legend on screen and stage playing classic roles in Macbeth and the Tempus But this rough Magic. I hear about your And when I have required some heavenly music, which, even now I do Work. My name's upon their senses that this airy charm is for I'll break My stuff. Bury it certain fathoms in the earth. And deeper than did ever plummet Sound. I'll drown. My book from 2010 that is Christopher Plummer playing Prospero at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival and speaking to Anthony Chamoli know the man who has very fond memories of Christopher Plummer, artistic director at the Stratford Festival. What do you make it? Add. Like what? What goes through your mind when you hear that? What goes through my arms or goose bumps? Yeah, he had an ability to Resonate like a violin like he felt things and it would stream out of him and into all of us. He could silence on audience like just just total focus immediately and You know, just to watch him and to be with him, And the thing is, as you said, the beginning of this interview, Tom once you spoke to him, I mean, you know, he was so full of life. I mean, in his book that which everybody should get. It's called in spite of myself, a memoir that you wrote he'd introduce like this Beautiful quote about Hamlet by saying, I'm not sure if was Hagel or Schlegel or Bagel who said Um, yeah, he was You know, he was irreverent and always interested in things and and and yet had this incredible talent. And you know what I find really interesting is one of the means that's going everywhere. On the Internet. Right now is a picture of Chris in the sound of the music, ripping down the Nazi flag and tearing it in half and Right, and everybody loves that. And you know when you look at him and the power that's in that the authority that's in that, but also his civility. His understanding of what is right in the world was right at the center of his being. And so when he became angry, you were angry with him. And I guess our world today needs a little bit more of that. It sounds like it. Talk to me. Let's put this put our actor hats on here a little bit and tell me a little bit about how he took on roles like Macbeth and King Lear. I mean roles that have been done. Millions of times and done by, You know, incredible actors. How did he manage to make these rolls his own? I think in the early years and I'm getting this from, you know his stories, and I think in the early years it was very much the power of his personality, his instincts. It wasn't preparation it was, you know, he was just a fantastic artist and And he would be able to really throw himself into things and worked with brilliant people, so he became stronger and learn more and saw more. Later in his life. It was interesting Tom to talk to him as he watched, you know other performances of key parts, and he would really like be able to take everything apart almost surgically about choices. The actor had made this moment rather than that moment so later in this year's he would show up at rehearsal. For the first day, having brilliantly throught through everything, and it only deepened from there. So he was a person over time who went from being You know this dangerous, bad boy to becoming a real artist on and a theater person in every sense. One more thing he didn't on. Lee do his part on like he had a way through how he comported himself and the way he was on stage to direct the entire production around him uncanny. How much to that theater training show up in his success and film. With. You know the Stratford festivals interesting because it changed the course of the performance of Shakespeare in World history because it has a stage in the center of the audience. And that was the first time that we had something like Shakespeare stage since Shakespeare was alive, so changed performance styles. From Alec Guinness, who was the first person on our stage is Richard the third, you could be intimate, like in other words, you're surrounded. And so there's no point trying to throw a performance across the proscenium arch. You had to be yourself because people were looking your back. They were looking at front. You'd be moving in real time. So that kind of training which came from understanding how to work on that very, very intimate stage of the Stratford trustable prepared him to just be real on film and styles were changing, You know, the declamatory style. Was really something that people like Chris Plummer saw out of the door and gave it a good kick out the door, so he really didn't change his performance style for film. He just Lived it. He didn't act it. What is Christopher Plummer's success done for Canadian actors and their reputations around the world?.

Dr Katz When we went to break we're about to talk about the founding up North Way discussed the laws of Virginia three weeks ago. People who go and listen to that. That's England transplanted. What is it that the pilgrims had in mind? And when did the Pilgrim's become the Puritans? And how did they diverge? And when does the Salem compact come into this conversation? Well, I think it's important to understand that James, the first of England was really attempting to create a culture built around the Church of England. Andre English, Christianity on and then what happened in the midst of that was that you have two ends of a spectrum kind of cut off from from inclusion in that one are the Puritans on one side, the other are those who choose to hang on to their Catholicism's And on the product inside the Puritans and the pilgrims were ones who really struggled with this idea of being you know, essentially forced into into the Church of England. The Pilgrim's being separatist left first went to the Netherlands and, um, realize that their Children were becoming Dutch more than they leaving behind English tradition. So what's very interesting about the pilgrims? And then the Puritans that followed them is that they were very much you know, Uh, Honoring the King and stand and Parliament of England. But they did struggle with the religious, um, on church structure that had been established. And so the pilgrims ended up coming to the northern colonies and the pilgrims being much more separatist, much more distinct in their attempt. T O be separate from the Church of England, the Puritans who came after them and again. There's a lot of discussion is how one really makes a distinguished distinguishes between these two groups. The Puritans. Many of them were from London. Many of them were involved in commerce and business. Many of them had been trained at Cambridge University, Cambridge University in that at that time, tend to be the kind of intellectual center Puritanism. And what they wanted to do in this new colony or new colonies in the north was to really establish Christian Republic, Um, still under, um You know the King and Parliament of England but to establish a kind of government again, As I said earlier, that might Be a a model for how Christians would live with and among one another, they established the first university in the colonies, Harvard University.

So is lucky to call him a friend mentor. He's He's pretty special human being yeah. I had the chance to work with him a little bit and he was he was quite a force who's quite a force. So I imagine again, you know this, this award is very personal because as you mentioned, he was a mentor and a friend to you. And you guys did work on a number of projects together. You know some of your earliest work was alongside Augie. But for people who might not know who he was, who was he too you? Well, he was a prolific stage actor. He's one of the first classically trained theater native theater actors in Canada. So you know he's he set the bar high right off the bat he went to National Theatre School, and then he moved onto Stratford as well, which is incredible place to be. And in nineteen sixty, four, him being the first native person to be on that stage is is pretty incredible. And Role in the George Regas. Ecstasy of the Joe. When he played the young fireball Jamie Paul which I think every almost every native actor has done that play in one shape or another. Always been, you know setting the bar quite high. One of the films that you start in alongside Augie was to come see the last warrior and the movie is the story of the Shawnee leader and you played his brother loud noise, which is a you know he's a pretty iconic person in history, but also a really meaty role to play. So let's take a listen to the scene where your character loud noise believes he is dying. To search die. Was More hotton inside. Slave lies in. Lust. You're in ski. Misery is not their fault. Zone.

So you know I always going full out every time. And Way. We shot that particular scene is that we started on the people above me. My brother and sister, and so I was off camera giving them the lines and I went out every single time for that for them off camera, and then she turns to me and she goes. You might want to save some of that for yourself. Oh Yeah I. Guess she goes. Yeah. I. I appreciate it but I don't need all that. I made her cry, which was my thing I just wanted to order. So she could get to the emotion that she needed and she was crying and stuff every time we did it

Popcorn with Peter Travers
Kenneth Branagh talks 'All Is True'
"Everybody. I'm Peter Travers this popcorn where we tell. You. What's happening at the movies? And we have a movie now called all is true. It is the story of William Shakespeare in his later years. It stars my friend here Kenneth Branagh who also directed it. And did God knows what else, you know? Can I think it's kind of amazing? We were talking a little bit before about when I first encountered you which was you playing a Henry the fifth onscreen, which he directed as well as started Oscar nominations for both things. This was a Henry who was just filled with youth and vigor and was going to take on the world and everything and it was. This fresh vigorous approach to what Shakespeare is. And now, you're playing Shakespeare himself in his later years has that make you feel on usual. Unusual very privileged. Because the in a way, you know, Henry the fifth was a it was an amazing opportunity to have as a young actor, and a sort of virgin filmmaker and really was any possible because there were lots of other equally sorts of adventurous maverick figures in terms of the produces and an all sorts of other people who were taking a chance on me. I remember talking to the late. Great psalm. Go when junior when we were releasing that film in America saying cannot, please please, please. I I know I'm I'm I'm twenty I'm nobody another, but complete can I make two requests on the post police. Could you include two names, one is Judi Dench who I promise you people will know about sued they will know about and the other one pleases William Shakespeare, without whom none of us would be here. Why credit the writer well, just different additional dialogue anyway. But it was he was just too concerned about what was going. To get people into the side. No problem listening to a smart, man. He news who knew his market. But I suppose the send if things I keep sort of saying the same thank yous to people like Judy Dench shoop stuck with me through a journey through shakes. Things have you done with her? I mean we worked about together by seven times. And she's directed me. A couple of times and I've directed her. I've always learned from her and a couple of years ago, we did Shakespeare's play the winter's tale, which was really a prelude to making this film. All is true because she played Pauline a- a woman who speaks truth to power, and she puts my character in that play on a man who makes stupid mistake and loses a child as a result. She puts into the test puts into the sold, and that sort of ten ship became a starting point for Ben Elton thinking about how might Anne Hathaway and William Shakespeare's relation be after twenty years of him being away as the most famous of the agent and coming back to face the family. That's the the whole crux of the story. He's got this wife who he basically has neglected. Fully and two daughters and a dead son memories dealing with. But I always here we know nothing about what really happened in terms of what was going on and Shakespeare's life. So how does this come about that you get to play him at in sixteen thirteen when he's basically retired after the old gulp Peter burns down. He's going on. Well, belts looked at the existing facts factual as we knew them that appear in the Public Record Office. And so you'll find that on on a day in June of sixteen fourteen Joan lane stood up in the church. Holy trinity church in Stratford, and he called Shakespeare's daughter a whore. And he said she had gonna RIA and that she was sleeping with the a man who was not her husband. This is in public record quite clear. Everybody knew about it created a sensation because Shakespeare was returning celebrity and in the case of of someone so creatively prolific to come back to a tiny town. And a long way from London, and and after thirty seven plays in a great success workout, what to do even let alone what to say to a wife and daughters, who as you say been neglected, and who have if you think of in terms of the plays that he wrote we're to have plenty to say about what he might or might not have done or said in his terms. He's gonna he's gonna come to terms with how that sits, you know, the the this idea of what it's like for genius to deal with old and rely was also in the in the core of what we were trying to look at Ben Elton who did this works on in a very humorous way. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yeah. But that's it. He's coming up and people are saying who the hell are you, you know. And I think what again one of the fascinating about Shakespeare's. How elusive he is. You know, there are probably about twenty five about him in the public record of his places. He was things that happened during the course of his life, but many people find it hard to join the. The idea of the fellow we present who may not have gone to drama school comes from a relatively lower class and REO in small country town and goes off into the world and can write plays about Rome and Egypt. And and it's Lee, and and and politics and religion and do so without having had the classical education without being as whether classical idea of genius, lured by remand bad and dangerous to know living glamorous life of public scandal. That sound great. I'd buy some of that. But Shakespeare seems to go pups, you know, exemplify what flow BAC, hold when he described the autistic life and said, you need to be boys watering, your private life and revolutionary in your creative life, and you might argue that about Shakespeare, but but that that that's sort of contradiction tension between the ordinary man and the man capable of extrordinary creative output to me you so touching so point. So Shakespeare because he he often in his own. Own place. He pulls the rug from under the feet of grandiloquent people saying, you know, what? In the end, you're all going to need company. You're going to need help at the end of your life. You're all going to require a you're all you need a support that comes from very simple contact with human beings. It isn't all about being some grand Queen or king. Even if he writes, very well about them his genius. I think he's writing about the nitty gritty in love, isn't it? Yeah. It's kind of amazing that in terms of film television. Whatever we don't really get that much of him. We really don't. So you I'm watching this. And I'm thinking, okay. Here's the he's coming home that heroes coming on, and nobody really wants them. Yes. Everybody's white says really, you know.
