The Best Documentaries to Watch at this Year’s Tribeca Film Festival The Tribeca Film Festival came under fire last month after announcing that it would host the world premiere of the anti-vaccination documentary Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe. The festival later pulled the doc and cofounder Robert De Niro took direct responsibility for the selection, explaining that he wanted the screening to serve as an “opportunity for conversation around the issue.” the unintended media storm, without fail, Tribeca documentaries deliver their fair share of conversation. This year, more than 80 films of various and exciting subjects will premiere in theaters around the city. Below, we share our list of seven documentaries worth seeing at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival. The Banksy Job This art heist documentary follows around one of Banksy’s rivals, AK47, a former porn star turned “art terrorist” who ends up stealing a famous Banksy statue from the streets of London.

Andrew Rossi’s Documentary About the Met Gala, The First Monday in May, Premieres Tonight at the Tribeca Film Festival Everyone knows that the Met Gala is the fashion world’s equivalent of the Super Bowl. But what most of us don’t know—how could we?—is what happens before all those celebrities walk up the 150-foot red carpet. How does this night come together? We get an answer to that question in The First Monday in May, a new documentary by Andrew Rossi (Front Page: Inside the New York Times), premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival tonight and opening in theaters this Friday. Filmed with the cooperation of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Vogue, this behind-the-scenes procedural is a celebration of the 2015 gala and the smash show, “China: Through the Looking Glass,” that was its inspiration. The film carries us through the whole process, from Costume Institute curator Andrew Bolton’s original conception of the exhibition through gala night itself, when Rihanna arrives in ...

Inside William and Kate’s Whistle-Stop Royal Tour of India and Bhutan One of the world’s largest, most populous, and undeniably complicated countries, India normally requires weeks to see, best explored by picking a single location and soaking it up over several days.

How to Get Rich in 3 (Really Difficult)

Image
Becoming wealthy may not be your primary goal, but if it is, there is a reasonably predictable way to get rich in America. Step 1: Ignore Your Mother Parents around the world typically encourage their kids to get educated so they can get a "good job," and perhaps become a doctor or lawyer, although neither tends to be a path to significant wealth. High-paying professions provide an excellent income stream, but two insidious forces undermine the professional's ability to create significant wealth: tax and spending. Tax It is difficult to become wealthy on the basis of a salary alone. Since income is taxed at the highest possible rate, you're left with not much more than 50 cents on the dollar. Spending The other problem with having a high income is that it creates a wealth effect that triggers spending. Thomas J. Stanley, the famous author of the research-driven classic  The Millionaire Next Door , points out that some professionals--in particu...

How strong is NATO....

How Strong is NATO....  NATO is militarily very strong. I don't have details but with the U.S. and many of the Western European countries in NATO, all of whom are developed economies and have a sizeable and relatively effective militaries, the coalition is a force to reckon with.  But, that's a BIG but, that will only happen if they can stand together and be politically in sync. As seen from the recent Ukraine conflict, NATO has been slow to react. Even if they do react, it is mainly barking and no biting. NATO wants to impose economic sanctions on Russia for their supposed role in the conflict, but countries like Greece and even Germany and the U.S. are reluctant to do so, for fear of economic damage to themselves. In this globalised, no past power can remain powerful. With economics ties so entrenched between NATO and Russia, and of course, globally, no matter how military strong they are, if they can't find a mutual approach to world affairs, I theorise that...
