Every day, a small team of obituary writers at The New York Times quietly records extraordinary lives, creating some of journalism’s finest storytelling. OBIT is the first documentary to explore this world, following the legendary Times obituaries desk as its writers craft vivid portraits that de‑emphasize death and celebrate lives lived. Drawing on writers past and present and the paper’s vast archive, the film reflects on memory, meaning, and how we choose to be remembered as time relentlessly moves on.
