Tony Kushner in New York City.Sean Donnola 9. When Steven Spielberg asked the playwright Tony Kushner to take on a “West Side Story” remake, Kushner thought the filmmaker had lost his mind. The challenge would be not only to recapture some of the power of the original Broadway show and of the 1961 movie musical — which Kushner says has had “the greatest cultural impact in various ways, except for maybe ‘The Wizard of Oz,’” in cinematic history — but also to right some of their wrongs.

She calls it “a great American story and a dazzling evisceration of one of the country’s foundational myths.” Camel beauty contests take center stage at the annual Al Dhafra Festival in the United Arab Emirates. 10. And finally, a beauty contest where droopy lips are prized. As modern culture upends Bedouin society, festivals like Al Dhafra in the United Arab Emirates are one of the few ways Bedouins can sustain their traditions. And at the heart of the festival are camel beauty contests. The ideal camel has long straight legs, a long neck, a shapely hump, pert ears, expressive eyes framed by upward-curled eyelashes, a sleek coat and elegant posture. A little jewelry also goes a long way. When Kiki Streitberger, a photographer, visited Al Dhafra in 2019, more than 24,000 camels from all over the Middle East competed for the equivalent of more than $16 million in prize money.
