Her name has been synonymous with debate culture on German television for years: Sandra Maischberger. She has made the journalistic form of critical discussion her own and in her political talk show "Maischberger" she devotes herself every week to the topics "that are on the table". She began as a radio reporter and presenter at Bayerischer Rundfunk, but quickly made a name for herself as a presenter of "Live aus dem Schlachthof", "Talk im Turm" and the interview format "Ich stelle mich". Her interviews with Helmut Schmidt are among his most personal and she has also constantly sought to engage in debates on an equal footing with other political greats in Germany such as Hildegard Hamm-Brücher and Angela Merkel. The list of her awards ranges from Bavarian and German television awards to media awards and the Federal Cross of Merit. For FREIHEIT DELUXE, Sandra Maischberger puts aside the current topics that "politicians throw at us every day" and gives a deeper insight into the thoughts and motives that underlie her work. She describes her mission as shaping a good public debate and "asking questions on behalf of all those who cannot." Jagoda Marinic and Sandra Maischberger explore the limits of freedom of expression and Sandra Maischberger asks herself critical questions: Which guests can a talk show tolerate according to democratic concepts without being abused as a propaganda tool by populists? But she also talks about the projects that have kept her busy for a long time alongside current journalism, most recently the film "Riefenstahl" by director Andres Veiel, in which she was not only involved as a producer, but also gave the impetus herself. In the course of the conversation, the two of them reveal what drives Sandra Maischberger most in all her journalistic work: finding out what is true and what is a lie...
