Kowloon Walled City—the "City of Darkness"—was once the densest place on Earth: Over 30,000 people crammed into a space the size of five football fields.
We're currently working on a deep dive into this concrete labyrinth exploring its crime, geopolitical gray zones, and culture born from chaos.
What questions do you have about the Walled City? Drop them below.
More art investigations? Who is Banksy? How did the CIA shape modern art? Which masterpieces are actually fakes? Let us know if you want this as a series.
Ever wonder how we went from landlines to smartphones? Turns out, a massive monopoly had to fall first. Sony dives into the history and talks with the inventor of the cell phone to hear how it all happened.
They dropped bombs in the dead of night. Cut their engines mid-flight. Terrified the entire Nazi army. And you've likely never heard of them. Night Witches drops this week.
We’re dropping a new video soon and need your help picking the title and thumbnail.
Here’s the gist: Term limits sound like an easy fix—something 87% of Americans agree on. But when we dug into the history, it turns out the story isn’t that simple. Congress doesn’t have term limits. Most states tried adding them. The Supreme Court said no. And the only way to make it happen now? Congress would have to vote themselves out of power.
But the real twist is what the states that imposed their own term limits actually learned and whether we already have term limits in a different form.
