Title: Meet the Latino Drag Queens Defying North Carolina's Anti-LGBT Law
Runtime: 3:30
Date posted: 10 years ago
Description: At Miss Hispanidad Gay 2016, competitors vie for the crown and to represent North Carolina’s Hispanic community. The pageant is particularly relevant today: it’s a latino, LGBT event in a state that has recently passed laws that repeal the civil rights of trans people. “It’s not acceptable in society to kiss or hold hands with our partner,” says Oskar Menen, who goes by the stage name of Gaga L’Draga. “I think the public out there is missing some tolerance for our community.” The Atlantic travelled to Durham, North Carolina, to film the event and get the perspectives of competitors and organizers.

The Atlantic’s Olga Khazan took to the streets of Washington, D.C., to interview people about their procrastination habits. In this video, she explains a technique called “simplified habit reversal,” which is a therapy that can help replace mindless procrastination habits with something more productive.

Title: Tinder Won't Change Love
Runtime: 2:00
Date posted: 10 years ago
Description: As internet dating and hook-up apps proliferate, some people fear that technology is changing love and marriage. In this interview filmed at the 2016 Aspen Ideas Festival, the biological anthropologist Helen Fisher puts those anxieties to rest. She argues that the brain’s circuitry has evolved in such a way that humans will always search for romantic love and partnership—humanity’s survival has depended on it for millennia. “The vast majority of people on the internet, even on Tinder, are looking for a long-term committed relationship,” she says. “Marriage used to be the beginning of a relationship, now it’s the finale.”

Are America's Small Towns Really Struggling?

Title: Are America's Small Towns Really Struggling?
Runtime: 10:58
Date posted: 10 years ago
Description: The job market in the United States is constantly shifting—especially in small towns that were once totally reliant on large factories for jobs. While politicians focus on failing industries, things looks different from the local perspective. Atlantic national correspondent James Fallows and contributing writer Deborah Fallows travelled to Pennsylvania, California, and Kansas to understand what transformations were happening in various industries. “These perceived weaknesses are actually our strength,” says one young resident of Erie, Pennsylvania.

This documentary was produced for American Futures, an ongoing reporting project from James and Deborah Fallows. The couple has spent three years exploring small town America by air, “taking seriously places that don’t usually get registered seriously.”

Title: Immigration in America Is Not Broken
Runtime: 11:07
Date posted: 10 years ago
Description: Immigration has proven to be one of the most divisive issues in the 2016 presidential race. Both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have expressed that the system is broken, but a consensus on any solution seems untenable. In this video, Atlantic national correspondent James Fallows and contributing writer Deborah Fallows ventured across the country to bridge the disconnect between national political rhetoric on immigration and the realities in migrant communities. They travelled to three American states—Pennsylvania, California, and Kansas—to understand the economic benefits that immigrants bring to the small towns they most often reside in.

This documentary was produced for American Futures, an ongoing reporting project from James and Deborah Fallows. The couple has spent three years exploring small town America by air, “taking seriously places that don’t usually get registered seriously.”

Title: A Coral Reef Revival | The Atlantic
Runtime: 8:02
Date posted: 10 years ago
Description: David Vaughan works on the Florida Reef Tract, the third largest coral reef in the world and a vastly important ecosystem for sustaining underwater life. He and a team of scientists are working to combat the crisis in the world’s coral reefs—that is, that human beings have lost 25 to 40 percent of the world’s corals in recent decades due largely to seawater temperature rise and continued acidification of the ocean. Vaughan has developed a technique called “micro-fragmenting” that allows corals to grow more than 25 times faster than normal, which could rapidly restore the dwindling population of healthy coral reefs. The Atlantic went inside the Mote Tropical Research Laboratory in Summerland Key, Florida, where Vaughan is the executive director, to uncover how the process works and understand how much hope there is to reverse the damage caused by humans.

An Animated Guide to Humanity's First Interstellar Mission

Title: An Animated Guide to Humanity's First Interstellar Mission
Runtime: 3:12
Date posted: 10 years ago
Description: In a 1610 correspondence to Galileo Galilei, Johannes Kepler noted, “Ships and sails proper for the heavenly air should be fashioned. Then, there will also be people, who do not shrink from the dreary vastness of space.” Now, more than four centuries later, the Russian venture capitalist Yuri Milner is applying these principles to modern day space exploration.

Human travel to our nearest star system, Alpha Centauri, will not be possible for many years, if ever. However, in the near future, robots might be able to make the trip in an inexpensive and scalable way. Using a solar sail, a nearly weightless spaceship and a powerful beam of light, probes could travel the 4 light years to Alpha Centauri in only 20 years. The most expensive piece of equipment, the beam of light, will stay on the planet, and each spaceship will cost only as much as a smartphone. With this scalable model, our earthly civilization might someday become truly galactic.

We've Reached the End of White Christian America

Title: We've Reached the End of White Christian America
Runtime: 3:19
Date posted: 10 years ago
Description: The United States is no longer a majority white, Christian country, and that is already beginning to have profound social and political implications. At 45 percent of the population, white Christians are a shrinking demographic—and the backlash from many members of the group against the increasing diversification of America has been swift and bitter. “People fight like that when they are losing a sense of place, a sense of belonging, and a sense of the country that they understand and love,” says Robert P. Jones, the author of 'The End of White Christian America,' in this animated interview. “How do they reengage in public life when they can’t be the majority?”

The Cognitive Science Behind Repeating Mistakes

Title: The Cognitive Science Behind Repeating Mistakes
Runtime: 3:04
Date posted: 10 years ago
Description: Being constantly late, losing your phone, spending too much money, dating the same inadvisable people—these are all errors that human beings make over and over again. But it has more to do with how the brain is wired than with a lack of discipline. In attempting to understand where we went wrong, our brains create “mistake pathways,” ruts that we get into when we try not to make another misstep. In this short video, staff writer Olga Khazan explains the psychological reasons why it’s so hard not to keep repeating mistakes.

Date posted: 10 years ago
Description: The Atlantic’s video series “Saturday Night in America” is about uncovering pockets of nightlife across the nation. This episode takes place in Austin, Texas, and profiles a pedicab driver, the owner of a honky-tonk bar, and members of a band called The Octopus Project. Despite a continuous influx of new people into the city, small bands who play live music have always shaped the culture. “Austin without music would just be a really boring college town,” says resident Sarah Yopp. “Local music here is, I think, the star of the city. Without music, Austin would die off.” The film was directed by Ben Wu and David Usui of Lost & Found Films.

Title: Can School Integration Make a Comeback?
Runtime: 6:32
Date posted: 10 years ago
Description: In 1954, Brown v. Board of Education declared that separate schools for black students and white students should be dismantled with “all deliberate speed.” However, in recent decades, schools have re-segregated to the levels they were just after Brown. In this video, Atlantic education editor Alia Wong speaks to the U.S. Secretary of Education John King, Jr. about his new plan to integrate schools. King’s policy changes will expand a system known as “school choice” that permits students to go to schools outside their neighborhoods and theoretically allows parents to voluntarily integrate schools. But, D.C. parent Natalie Hopkinson argues that schools will continue to re-segregate if the federal government does not intervene more forcefully. “As long as we rely on [parental] choice, we will continue to have the same result,” she says. “White parents will not send their kids to schools unless they are already white.”

Description: In the heart of Washington, D.C., seven people live in a single home and pool all of their incomes (which range from upwards of $80,000 to a couple thousand) together to share. The residents of Compersia Commune embrace an ideology that values unpaid labor and disavows capitalism. In this tiny, socialized economy, the collective gets everything you have—which, for some, has been liberating. “We talk a lot and think a lot about trying to transform our relationship to money,” says GPaul, the commune’s founder. “We’re doing all of this work so that worrying about money [and] stressing about money is not so present in our lives.”

Title: A Clinic That Only Freezes Eggs
Runtime: 5:03
Date posted: 10 years ago
Description: While Facebook, Google, and a few other companies have agreed to cover the costs of egg freezing for employees, the $10,000 to $15,000 cost isn’t practical for most people. A new fertility clinic in New York City is promising to cut the cost by focusing solely on egg freezing. They promise a $4,990 “all-inclusive” price (though this does not include the costs of hormone treatments and egg storage, which are a few thousand more). Can specialization and competition actually drive down the price of this procedure–without compromising safety? And should it? In this episode of If Our Bodies Could Talk, senior editor James Hamblin visits Extend Fertility to learn more about the idea.

Description: Lawrence Lessig is a Harvard Law professor and 2016 candidate for the Democratic nomination. In this interview filmed at the Aspen Ideas Festival, he explains how money’s influence in politics threatens American democracy. Congress has become deeply unrepresentative, he says, because politicians are focused on answering to their biggest campaign donors rather than the general population. This is why people are drawn to anti-establishment candidates like Donald Trump or Bernie Sanders. “We could fix these problems if we had a Congress with the will to address the corruption that has broken the representative system,” Lessig says. “Unfortunately we don’t have that will right now, we have to find a way to create it.”

Title: It's Time to Make 'Women's Work' Everyone's Work
Runtime: 3:30
Date posted: 10 years ago
Description: Anne-Marie Slaughter, the author of Why Women Still Can’t Have It All, says that the missing factor in the women’s movement is an emphasis on caregiving policies. Work, for the most part, is stratified into to separate categories: caregiving and breadwinning. Caregiving is traditionally done by women, while breadwinning is men’s work. Despite many progressive milestones, current governmental policies surrounding caregiving still do not move society towards gender equality. "Why haven’t we said that, actually, traditional women’s work is just as important as traditional men’s work?” Slaughter asks in this interview, filmed at this year’s Aspen Ideas Festival. “Both are equally necessary for society...but we value breadwinning so much more than we value caregiving.”

Description: Shantiniketan is known as “little India”—it’s a small cluster of retirement homes in Central Florida that’s only for Indian Americans. It’s meant to be a space for people who cannot grow old in their homeland because their lives are rooted in the United States. “Because of the very unique culture, food, and religion, Indians find it very difficult to retire in a mainstream retirement community,” says Iggy Ignatius, who was born in India and founded Shantiniketan in 2008. “But for those who want to come here, I can tell you this is heaven for them.” We went inside Shantiniketan to speak to the Indian Americans who live there, and to understand the appeal of moving to a place that’s steeped in the culture of your birthplace.

Description: Commentators often criticize Hillary Clinton for having a loud, monotone, and shrill voice. In this video, The Atlantic’s Olga Khazan talks to voice experts to understand what makes Clinton’s voice allegedly more annoying than her competitors. The conclusions are complex: Clinton’s voice is actually average in pitch and loudness for her age and gender, but she does yell into microphones and speak in an overly enunciated voice—two factors that may make her seem abrasive. And then, of course, there’s another element at play: sexism.

In the heart of Washington, D.C., Keya Chatterjee and her family live off the energy produced from a single solar panel. It started in 2006, when Chatterjee and her husband had a fight with their electrical company. They were so tired of the astronomical bills that they stopped power to their home and spent the entire winter living without heating or electricity—essentially camping in their own home. After a frigid few months, they installed the solar panel and returned to Pepco, but now they supply energy to the grid rather than using it. Today, Chatterjee’s life runs on solar energy, she takes public transportation everywhere, and she’s figured out how to live with as little consumption as possible.

Title: Will Single Women Transform America?
Runtime: 3:49
Date posted: 10 years ago
Description: In her book, All the Single Ladies, Rebecca Traister traces the long history of marriage and its varied purposes in the United States. She also argues that the unprecedented rise in independent, unmarried women demands shifts in power dynamics and policy. It’s completely revolutionary, Traister explains in this animated interview, for more young women to be unmarried than not. In the 1800s, Susan B. Anthony wrote: “In women's transition from subject to sovereign, there must needs be an era of self-sustained, self-supported homes.” Traister says that her prediction was correct, and that this has led to what Anthony once described as an "epoch of single women" in America.

Title: To Catch a Forger
Runtime: 4:37
Date posted: 10 years ago
Description: In 2012, a papyrus entitled "The Gospel of Jesus's Wife" presented evidence that some early Christians believed Jesus may have been married. While academics and religious leaders quibbled over the authenticity of the document–reaching no concrete conclusions–journalist Ariel Sabar looked where no one else had: at the document’s origins. In a months long investigation, Sabar followed leads to Harvard, Germany, Florida, and more. It quickly became clear the Gospel’s owner was not the man he presented himself to be. You can read the full article, “The Unbelievable Tale of Jesus’s Wife,” on the Atlantic’s website and in the July/August issue of the magazine.
