At the end of January, Judith Rakers said goodbye to her job as a “Tagesschau” presenter. Now the journalist is taking part in a film project for the first time.
“After 19 successful and exciting years at ‘Tagesschau’, it is with a heavy heart that I have decided to leave” – with these words Judith Rakers announced her departure as ARD news anchor in January. The 48-year-old explained this decision by saying that it was time to “direct the focus of my life to other projects.”
Judith Rakers explained on Instagram that her “great passion” has long been for topics such as “growing vegetables, nature and gardening” away from the TV cameras. Since her last “Tagesschau” on January 31st, the journalist has devoted herself, among other things, to the production of sustainable products for her own brand as well as a podcast and a guide on home farming. She also develops games and has published several books.
Now she has taken another new step professionally: she is part of a film. She can now be heard in the cinema in the animated adventure “The Wild Robot”.
“I’m very excited because I was able to lend my voice to the main character and voice the robot Roz. A Hollywood dubbing project – and I’m right in the middle of it,” wrote the 48-year-old on Instagram and raved about the film: “It enchants children as well as adults . You’ll laugh, maybe shed a tear, but you’ll leave the cinema happier than you went in.”
Looking back, Judith Rakers doesn’t regret her departure from the “Tagesschau”. “The new beginning totally worked for me in terms of happiness in life and also my professional home,” emphasized the presenter in an RTL interview some time ago.
