Louise and Ian are given a time frame to work out how to communicate with the aliens without starting a war, why the rest of the world has to decide what to do with the alien vessel that landed in their backyard. ‘Arrival’ is filled with the question “why are you here?” The director uses this question to guide the film, showing how some of the major countries deal with the vessel because throughout the movie we see countries trying to deal with the unknown vessel by trying to communicate to the Heptapod’s so they can sort something out before something catastrophic happens.

In 2015, HBO aired a six-part, true crime documentary series titled, The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst. Writer and director, Andrew Jarecki, examined the details of three crimes associated with Durst, including the disappearance of Durst’s first wife Kathy, the murder of his dear friend, Susan, and the murder and dismemberment of his neighbor, Morris Black.

Initially, Durst approached Jarecki regarding an interview after he saw All Good Things, a film Jarecki had released
