Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

Oscar-winning Chilean director Sebastián Lelio, 52, was found dead at his home in Santiago, with his partner, actress Amalia Kassai, announcing the news. His death was attributed to health problems, though no further details were disclosed. Lelio won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 2018 for "A Fantastic Woman" and was known for films including "Gloria" and "Disobedience." The loss removes one of Latin America's most internationally celebrated filmmakers from the industry.
