World on Fire - Staffel 1
Im September 1939 marschiert das Deutsche Reich in Polen ein, der 2. Weltkrieg bricht aus und stürzt Menschen in ganz Europa ins Chaos. Der in Warschau stationierte britische Übersetzer Harry (Jonah Hauer-King) setzt alles daran, seine polnische Geliebte Kasia (Zofia Wichlacz) aus dem Land zu schmuggeln. Im heimischen Manchester werden seine Angehörigen (u.a. Sean Bean, Lesley Manville) vom Krieg überrascht, der junge Draufgänger Tom (Ewan Mitchell) schließt sich der Navy an und findet sich bald auf dem Schlachtfeld wieder. Die US-Kriegsreporterin Nancy (Oscar®-Preisträgerin Helen Hunt) riskiert in Berlin alles, um ihre Nachbarn vor den Nazis (u.a. Max Riemelt) zu verstecken. Und in Paris weigert sich ihr Neffe derweil, die besetzte Stadt zu verlassen – und damit den Mann, den er liebt… „World on Fire“ zeigt, wie sich das erste Kriegsjahr 1939 auf die Leben aller Menschen in ganz Europa auswirkt, vom Zivilisten daheim bis zum Soldaten an der Front. Die aufwändige BBC-Serie vom dreifachen BAFTA-Preisträger Peter Bowker wirft einen unter die Haut gehenden Blick auf die Schicksale von Menschen, deren Welt buchstäblich in Flammen steht.- Shop: buecher

He was impressed with the company's knowledge of coffee and kept in contact over the next year, expressing interest in working with them. A year later, he joined Starbucks as the director of marketing. On a buying trip to Milan, Italy, for Starbucks, Schultz noted that coffee bars existed on practically every street. He learned that they not only served excellent espresso, they also served as meeting places or public squares; the 200,000 cafés in the country were an important element of Italian culture and society. On his return, he tried to persuade the owners (including Jerry Baldwin) to offer traditional espresso beverages in addition to the whole bean coffee, leaf teas, and spices they had long offered. After a successful pilot of the cafe concept, the owners refused to roll it out company-wide, saying they did not want to get into the restaurant business. Frustrated, Schultz decided to leave Starbucks in 1985. He needed $400,000 to open the first store and start the business. He simply did not have the money, and his wife was pregnant with their first baby. Jerry Baldwin and Gordon Bowker offered to help. Schultz also received $100,000 from a doctor who was impressed by Schultz's energy to "take a gamble". By 1986, he raised all the money he needed to open the first store, Il Giornale, named after the Milanese newspaper of the same name.
