A new video series by ‘New York Times’ reporter Adam Ellick explores Russia’s role in spreading fake news, dating back to the ’80s conspiracy theory that the AIDS virus was created by the U.S. military. Ellick also talks about the impact of Russian disinformation in the U.S. “This country is so split and divided that we’re now using this Soviet disinformation playbook on ourselves.”

Also, film critic Justin Chang reviews the heist thriller ‘Widows,’ starring Viola Davis and directed by Steve McQueen.
