In an episode more than a decade in the making, Graham travels to Los Angeles to sit down with legendary director James Cameron. The Avatar filmmaker reflects on his earliest steps into cinema and how 2001: A Space Odyssey first showed him the power of grounded, realistic science fiction. Cameron opens up about stepping away from Hollywood to pursue engineering projects and new camera technology, and why New Zealand offered him sanity. Cameron addresses his demanding reputation, offering to forfeit his Titanic fees for creative control, and shares his cautious views on AI in filmmaking. In a candid personal turn, Cameron reflects on his four short marriages, what they taught him about balance and coexistence, and how those lessons led to a marriage that has now lasted 25 years.
