Did you watch #IntheHeights this weekend?

A thread all about the highly anticipated film version of the Broadway musical👇🧵
It took endless amounts of patience and faith to pull off “Paciencia y Fe,” the most ambitious, expensive and deeply moving musical moment of “In the Heights.”

The Times spoke to the numerous collaborators who brought it to life: latimes.com/entertainment-…
From Benny and Nina’s budding romance to Vanessa’s fashion focus, we've got you covered on the five of the major changes to #InTheHeights.
latimes.com/entertainment-…
'In the Heights' is @jonmchu’s first feature-length movie-musical — a four-quadrant live-action genre that, with rare exceptions, has been directed by a handful of white men over the past 20 years.

Here's how he did it: latimes.com/entertainment-…
“To call this movie assertive would be an understatement; to describe it as small would be a lie."

@JustinCChang on #InTheHeights latimes.com/entertainment-…
“In the Heights” is set to do for the movies what it did on Broadway: bring stories of present-day, everyday Latinos to life. And not a moment too soon.

3 culture writers — a Mexican, a Chilean Peruvian & a Cuban Belizean — watched a screening & discussed latimes.com/entertainment-…

The Thacher School, among California’s most elite private schools, acknowledged Wednesday decades of allegations of student sexual misconduct, harassment and “boundary crossing” by faculty members at the $64,700-a-year Ojai boarding academy.

In an extraordinary public disclosure, the allegations at the exclusive school were compiled in a report posted on its website. latimes.com/california/sto…
In it, attorneys hired by Thacher laid out episodes of alleged rape, groping, unwanted touching and inappropriate comments dating back 40 years in a level of detail surprising for a private institution. latimes.com/california/sto…

There is an online sex crimes crisis in South Korea. Digital sex crimes involve the use of hidden miniature cameras to film or share intimate images of women and girls without their consent.

latimes.com/world-nation/s…
In recent years, digital sex crime scandals have roiled the country, prompting soul-searching about deep-rooted sexism and setting off an unprecedented rise in feminist activism, and a fierce backlash to boot.

For example → latimes.com/world-nation/s…
The epidemic has driven women to suicide, forced them to move overseas or left them with lifelong trauma, according to @hrw report recently released.

Many victims received inadequate support from law enforcement or counseling services.

California fully reopened Tuesday, and with that, residents who are fully vaccinated were able to go into many public places without masks, even indoors.

Some did. But many others decided to keep their masks on.
latimes.com/california/sto…
“Right now, there are just too many unvaccinated people to not ask our customers to wear masks,” said restaurant general manager Jorge Jimenez, 35. “If you look at the area, it’s been hit hard by COVID-19. It doesn’t make sense right now to change.”
latimes.com/california/sto…
“This virus is incredibly dangerous, and I can’t believe people don’t want to understand that,” said storeowner Ken Huo’s . “I know people want to go back to ‘good times,’ but where’s the responsibility? Where’s the accountability?”

As Gov. Newsom ends COVID-19 restrictions, he is doing his best to shut the book on the recall months before the election. latimes.com/california/sto…

But muddled policies, school closures and his own damaging missteps frustrated even some of his staunchest supporters and inflamed an angry bloc of voters. latimes.com/california/sto…
Now, Newsom is back in the spotlight, only this time he’s giving away cash prizes in a lottery for inoculated Californians instead of offering grim news, and telling people what they can do instead of what they cannot. latimes.com/california/sto…
