Ice Spice, Cash Cobain, and their New York crowd may have been robbed of seeing the exciting duo amid the beautiful views of Manhattan’s Pier 17 — but they made due at Terminal 5. Rainy weather made the westside Manhattan venue the alternate choice for the second-turned-first leg of their two-night hometown stand of Ice Spice’s Y2k! tour. Pier 17 and Terminal 5 hold roughly the same capacity, meaning no Munchkins were left outside for Ice’s big night.

Karim Amer has made documentaries about seismic geopolitical events as they unfolded before. In the Oscar-nominated documentary The Square — which he produced — footage of the chaos and carnage in Cairo’s Tahrir Square helped offer an uniquely immersive account of the Egyptian Revolution of 2011.
But nothing he’d made previously compares to Defiant, premiering in Toronto on Sep. 9 and capturing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine from the unique perspective of key decision makers in Kiev — including minister of foreign affairs Dmytro Kuleba — politicians suddenly and unexpectedly thrust into a wartime government.

One of the best things people going through really difficult times need is hope. Hope for a better outcome in their endeavors or future.
Passengers on KA29 had hoped dangled before them, so close within reach that they could taste it on Hijack Season 1 Episode 5. And just like it had appeared out of nowhere, it disappeared into thin air, no pun intended.
Hijack had tried to keep the intentions behind this hijacking a secret as long as possible, and while that question was always at the back of our minds, it didn't affect the story.
Demands arrived at the British government's table, and in them, the team learned who was behind the hijacking and what they wanted.
In our Hijack series premiere review, we had speculated a little about who the hijackers could have been because of how diverse they were, but none of our ideas panned out.
