Italian Radical and British Producer Die on Same Day
🐿️ The Squirrel's Take
Two figures who changed their worlds through sheer nerve—one taking on the Vatican, the other taking on cinema.
💡 Why it matters
Bonino's battles reshaped Italian society on abortion and divorce, while Thomas brought visionary international films to global audiences.
Emma Bonino, Italian politician who fought for abortion and divorce rights, died at 78. Jeremy Thomas, Oscar-winning producer of The Last Emperor, died at 77.
