What Itâs Like to Grow Up in an Israeli Settlement | Op-Docs
This week we bring you Iris Zakiâs thought-provoking short film âNatural Born Settlers.â A self-described liberal from cosmopolitan Tel Aviv, Zaki wanted to get behind the politics of Israelâs controversial settlements in the occupied territories â so she moved there, temporarily, setting up an improvised cafe where she could chat with settlers from her own generation.
Zakiâs previous Op-Doc was âThe Shampoo Summit,â for which she took a job at a Christian Arab-owned hair salon, using a similarly playful, open-minded approach to transcend rhetoric and ideology and spark serious conversations with her fellow Israelis.

How Jordan Peele Builds Suspense in âUsâ | Anatomy of a Scene
âThereâs a family in our driveway.â
That ominous line kicks off this creepy scene from âUs,â Jordan Peeleâs new horror film about a family (Lupita Nyongâo, Winston Duke, Shahadi Wright Joseph and Evan Alex) terrorized by its doppelgängers. Narrating the scene, Peele discusses how he was inspired by scenes from the movies âHalloweenâ and âPoltergeistâ in the way he built suspense in the sequence. He also talks about how he wrote the actions of the father character in a way that interrogates his own anxieties about parenthood.

How I Survived Being Kidnapped by Somali Pirates | Op-Docs
Reporting from conflict zones will always be dangerous. But where should journalists draw the line? And who pays the price when they take too many risks? In her Op-Doc, âFrom Journalist to Hostage,â director Sonia Kennebeck explores those questions at close range, through the story of a reporter who was held captive by Somali pirates for two and a half years. Many commentators have suggested that journalists like Michael Scott Moore have no business taking such risks â and shouldnât expect sympathy or aid. But if reporters always steer clear of dangerous places, will important stories go untold?

Watch Ben Affleck Pay for Catastrophic Actions in âTriple Frontierâ | Anatomy of a Scene
How do you make amends for a tragedy? In the Netflix film âTriple Frontier,â it takes cash. The movie focuses on former Special Forces operatives (Ben Affleck, Charlie Hunnam, Oscar Isaac, Garrett Hedlund and Pedro Pascal) who come together to bring down (and rip off) a drug dealer. Their plans donât go as smoothly as hoped, and a turn of events finds them in a small village on the Brazilian border, doing more harm than good.
Affleckâs character is charged with paying off a village elder for the damage that he and his team caused. In his narration, Chandor explains how the scene was inspired by stories he heard from real Special Ops veterans about similar payoffs to villages during times of war.

This week, the New York Times Op-Docs brings you âDeath Row Doctor,â about Dr. Carlo Musso and his assistance with executions in Georgia. Directed by Lauren Knapp, the film challenges us to answer the question of whether having a doctor in the execution chamber is a perversion of medicine ⌠or a common-sense act of mercy.

3 dogs have inspired a rule that would define and ban excessive barking in Saddle River, New Jersey. The borough is considering an ordinance that would make it illegal for dogs to bark, howl or yelp for more than 20 minutes straight between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m., or for 15 continuous minutes at any other time. Penalties for dog owners range from $100 to $1,000. A vote on the ordinance was postponed earlier this month for further discussion. The roots of the proposed rule go directly to the Focazio familyâs home in Saddle River. Dr. William Focazio said his dogs are mostly quiet â except when thereâs a visitor or an intruder. Then they bark. The Mone family, who live behind the Focazios, said theyâre woken up at all hours by the dogs. Attempts were made to settle the issue, a Mone family member said, but when the dogs kept barking, the police were called. Multiple times. Visit the link in our profile to read more from Sarah Maslin Nir, who visited the borough to report on the issue. Bryan Anselm shot this photo of Dr. Focazio, and his wife, Debra Focazio, with 2 of the familyâs dogs. #đ

âPeople think that data is in the cloud, but itâs not. Itâs in the ocean.â The internet consists of tiny bits of code that move around the world, traveling along wires, like the ones seen here, strung across the ocean floor. Nearly 750,000 miles of cable already connect the continents. Companies have typically pooled their resources to collaborate on #undersea cable projects. But now, @google is going its own way, in a first-of-its-kind project connecting the U.S. to Chile, home to the companyâs largest data center in Latin America. A 456-foot ship will eventually deliver the cable to sea. But first, the cable is assembled. Then, itâs spooled into tanks inside the ship, as seen here. @nytchangster shot this photo and documented the cable-making process. Visit the link in our profile to see more.

9 concerts in 7 days. Our chief classical music critic Anthony Tommasini did just that at Carnegie Hall in New York, probably the most famous concert space in the world. It was a reminder that classical music is about more than big symphonies. Whatâs special about the art form is its variety â its intimacy and its grandeur, its capacity to draw inspiration from the past yet speak to the present.

Lupita Nyong'o has been deliberate about creating a space for herself in an industry that wasn't built for her, writes #nytimes pop culture reporter Reggie Ugwu. The Kenyan-Mexican actress stars in âUs,â the new psychological horror film from @jordanpeele. She became the seventh black woman and first black African to win an Academy Award for acting, in 2014.

A growing number of building facade inspectors, increasingly women, are rappelling down skyscrapers in New York City. The city requires buildings taller than 6 stories to have their facades inspected every 5 years to ensure the safety of passers-by. Rather than using bulky scaffolds or hydraulic cranes, an increasing number of design and engineering firms are training their staff members to rappel down, suspended by ropes like the ones used by #rockclimbers. Rope access can be less expensive, less time-consuming and less obtrusive. Amy DeLuca, photographed here inspecting a building from the side of a 21-story co-op, said she saw a âpromotional photo of someone rappellingâ and said, âI want to do that.â She joined CANY, an architecture and engineering firm, 8 years ago and became its first female rope-access inspector in 2015. @nytchangster shot this photo.

Aidy Bryant found her confidence on âSaturday Night Live.â On âShrillâ she found herself. Though the Hulu series is, at heart, a comedy, itâs radically different from anything @aidybryant has done in her career. The series, adapted from @thelindywestâs memoir of the same title, stars Aidy as a fledgling writer at an alt-weekly newspaper who learns to find her voice amid a maelstrom of online and real-life criticism. At the same time, the story is a simple one about a woman much like Aidy, who is tired of being treated as if her size were a problem that needs to be solved. @shrillhulu has deep personal resonance for Aidy; she said the series helped provide her with âan interior makeover on how you approach life, but also how you receive people calling you a fat pig. To not let it penetrate and ruin you.â @_sabrinasantiago shot this photo of Aidy in New York. Visit the link in our profile to read more.

The special counsel, Robert Mueller, has submitted his full report on President Trump and Russian interference in the 2016 election to Attorney General William Barr, who now must decide how much of it to release.

In the most racially diverse U.S. House of Representatives in history, a record number of top Democratic aides are men and women of color. These aides are influencing major policy decisions, shaping messages and leading the staffs of nearly half a dozen committees. Staff members Tasia Jackson, Latrice Powell and Taylor Griffin are seen here taking photos of their fellow staffers. (Swipe left to see the aides who are having their picture taken.) The implications of having diverse aides are significant. Top aides have the ear of members and are also responsible for hiring decisions. They often go on to jobs in the executive branch or run for Congress themselves. This yearâs diversity expansion didnât happen on its own. @repmcgovern of Massachusetts expanded a diversity initiative established last Congress by the Democratic Caucus to the entire House when the Democrats took control.

Stuyvesant High School, one of New Yorkâs â and Americaâs â elite public schools, caused a wrenching discussion about race and inequality on Monday when it announced that only 7 black students had been admitted, out of 895 spots. Sarai Pridgen, a Stuyvesant sophomore whoâs in the bottom left of this photo, said she felt sickened by the statistic â yet unsurprised. Sarai is one of 29 black students out of about 3,300 teenagers at Stuyvesant. âIt wasnât shock that I felt, it was the same wave of disappointment I feel every time I look at the demographics of this school.â Students gain entry into the school by acing a single exam. #nytimes reporter Eliza Shapiro sat down with 9 black and Hispanic students from Stuyvesant, who said the sobering statistics have energized them to be even more vocal in the discussion regarding the cityâs elite schools, and to make Stuyvesant a more welcoming place for future students like them.
