Obit(2017)
An inside look at life on the New York Times obituaries desk.
Obit is a documentary that follows the obituary writers at the New York Times as they distill entire lives into 500-word tributes. The film offers an intimate look at the daily work, creative challenges, and philosophical questions that define this unique profession. These journalists spend their careers researching and writing about the famous, infamous, and overlooked figures who shaped history, wrestling with how to capture a person's essence and legacy in limited space. The documentary reveals the rituals, humor, and deeper meaning behind obituary writing—a job that sits at the intersection of journalism, biography, and reflection on mortality itself. Through conversations with the Times' veteran obit writers, Obit explores what it means to chronicle human lives and why these final published words matter so profoundly to readers and the historical record.
