Reinventing Kodak

Kodak was written off as a casualty of the digital age. Now, it's betting on film again. We hear from the chief executive, Jim Continenza, on rebuilding manufacturing, reviving analogue, and turning an industrial icon back around. And we learn why going backwards can be harder than going forwards. We also hear how a conversation with Hollywood director Christopher Nolan got him truly interested in the medium of film.
