The Last True Hermit Survived Alone for 27 Years

Title: The Last True Hermit Survived Alone for 27 Years
Runtime: 22:59
Date posted: 7 years ago
Description: For decades, the residents of Maine’s Kennebec Valley believed that the North Pond Hermit was a myth. According to local lore, a hermit had been living undetected in the woods since the 1980s; every so often, he would break into seasonal cabins to steal food and other resources. But no one could prove the hermit’s existence—if he was out there, he had taken great pains to guarantee his isolation.

Then, on April 2013, a man was arrested in the deep woods of Maine. His name was Christopher Thomas Knight. According to societal records, he didn’t exist. For 27 years, he had camped out in the forest, surviving on meager supplies he’d burglarized from houses in the area. He endured winter temperatures of –20° F. Every morning, he watched the sun rise over the foggy valley he called home. He hadn’t had a single conversation with another person for nearly three decades.

Quarantine at the Edge of the World: Portraits from the Arctic

Title: Quarantine at the Edge of the World: Portraits from the Arctic
Runtime: 8:37
Date posted: 7 years ago
Description: The Northwest Territories encompasses some of the northernmost regions of Canada and extends high into the Arctic Circle. It is about twice the size of Texas but home to only 44,000 residents, who live in small communities spread across its vast area. The capital city of Yellowknife is 1,500 kilometers from the next-closest major city. It’s cold, ruggedly beautiful, and very isolated.

The region’s remoteness, its limited health resources, and the history of infectious disease among the predominantly indigenous population sparked an austere response to the spread of the coronavirus. Upon the discovery of its first case, the territory closed its borders to outside travel and implemented strict self-isolation measures.

These measures have left many residents out of work. Pat Kane, a documentary photographer from Yellowknife, was forced to give up a number of jobs. His community was housebound. His wife suggested that he make up for lost work by offering to ta...

The Surreal Field Hospital in Central Park

Title: The Surreal Field Hospital in Central Park

Date posted: 7 years ago
Description: When news spread that a field hospital was opening in Central Park, New Yorkers breathed a collective sigh of relief. The 68-bed respiratory-care unit would accept overflow patients from Mount Sinai, which was running out of hospital beds. It was a necessary contribution to a public-health crisis.

But the next wave of news wasn’t so optimistic. As it turns out, Samaritan’s Purse, the Christian relief organization behind the field hospital, is run by a fundamentalist preacher known for his anti-LGBTQ and Islamophobic rhetoric. New York Mayor Bill de Blasio expressed serious concern.

In a new documentary, The Atlantic visits Central Park to speak with volunteers from Samaritan’s Purse and to find out what New Yorkers think of it all. The tent hospital accepted its first patient on Wednesday.

Title: The Great Toilet-Paper Panic
Runtime: 10:21
Date posted: 7 years ago
Description: It started with an unsubstantiated rumor. “You can laugh now,” said Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show in 1973, “but there is an acute shortage of toilet paper.” There wasn’t— but it didn’t matter. The broadcast sent America into a mass panic. Millions of shoppers swarmed into grocery stores to begin hoarding toilet paper. The Scott Paper Company insisted that the shortage was being artificially induced, and urged people to stop panic-buying the product. Nevertheless, for four months, toilet paper—absent from the selves—was bartered, traded, and even sold on the black market. Out of nowhere, a shortage was born.

Title: The Truth About Stalin's Prison Camps
Runtime: 6:08
Date posted: 7 years ago
Description: Vera Golobeva spent more than six years in one of Stalin’s Gulag camps. Her crime? “To this day, I still don’t know,” she says. In a new documentary, Golobeva remembers the excruciating details of her imprisonment. When she was arrested, along with her father, mother, and sister, Golobeva was taken to KGB headquarters and tortured. She was eight months pregnant. “I felt as if they were burying me alive,” she says in the film. The worst was yet to come.

Between 1918 and 1987, Soviet Russia operated a vast network of hundreds of prison camps that held up to 10,000 people each. When Stalin launched his infamous purges in 1936, millions of so-called political prisoners were arrested and transported to the Gulag without trial. The first wave of prisoners were military or government officials; later, ordinary citizens—especially intellectuals, doctors, writers, artists, and scientists—were arrested ex nihilo. At the camps, many prisoners were executed or died fr...

Description: Raul Rodriguez was proud to be a border agent. For nearly two decades, he had searched for people and drugs hidden in cargo before it entered the United States. In his years of service as a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer, he’d initiated the deportations of thousands of people. His job gave him security and a sense of purpose. Then, one day in 2018, that all came crashing down. Investigators came to Rodriguez’s office to tell him his career in immigration—and his military service before that—was based on a lie. His United States citizenship was fraudulent. He was an undocumented immigrant himself.

Will Congress Fulfill a 184-Year-Old Promise to the Cherokee?

Title: Will Congress Fulfill a 184-Year-Old Promise to the Cherokee?
Runtime: 10:02
Date posted: 7 years ago
Description: On December 29, 1835, the Cherokee Nation signed the Treaty of New Echota. Like many treaties the U.S. government signed with Native American tribes, this one benefited the United States at the expense of the Native nation. The Cherokee were forced to relinquish their ancestral lands. During their relocation to Oklahoma, on what became known as the Trail of Tears, a quarter of their population perished. Most of the treaty’s promises went unfulfilled.

One provision in the treaty stipulated that the Cherokee were “entitled to a delegate in the House of Representatives of the United States.” Nearly 200 years later, the Cherokee Nation has named their delegate: Kimberly Teehee, a former policy adviser to President Barack Obama and a longtime leader within the Cherokee Nation. Now the government has to honor this centuries-old promise. In a new documentary, The Atlantic follows Teehee on her quest to give her nation a voice in Congress.
