"THE CONTINENT of 10s," a weekly documentary series on soccer, business, politics, and culture that ran for five seasons (65 episodes).
On March 21, President Obama becomes the first sitting American president to visit Cuba in 88 years, advancing the campaign to prove that engagement with longtime adversaries is effective in renewing dialogue and promoting change. VICE visits the 2015 Summit of the Americas to see the political thawing of relationships between Cuba and the United States, and then Havana, Cuba to speak to Cubans about how music and culture are helping bridge the divide between two former enemies.
Pelit was the Sports Deals Reporter at Sportico, where she covered private equity, business of global soccer, Formula 1 and technology.
I commented on the UN Security Council's meeting on the Middle East, focusing on remarks by U.S. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield regarding the death of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi.
I reported on the United Nations' call for a "full investigation" into the killing of a US-Turkish woman during a protest in the occupied West Bank. Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, 26, was shot dead by Israeli forces while participating in a weekly demonstration against Jewish settlement expansion in Beita, near Nablus.
I reported on the memorial service for the 23rd anniversary of the September 11 attacks. Held at the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, the ceremony brought together survivors, families, and dignitaries to honor the victims. The service included emotional speeches, a moment of silence, and the reading of names, highlighting both the lasting sorrow and the resilience of the city and the nation.
