Movie industry angst, hope for cancer patients, ‘zombie volcano': Catch up on the day's stories
👋 Welcome to 5 Things PM! A woman who vanished more than 60 years ago in Wisconsin has been discovered alive.

Here's what else you might have missed during your busy day: 1️⃣ Hollywood angst: Movie studio and streaming industry executives are up in arms after President Donald Trump said he wants to slap a 100% tariff on films produced outside the United States. They warn that his proposal could decimate an iconic industry. 2️⃣ Cancer treatment: A new study found that immunotherapy — harnessing a person's own immune system to target and fight disease — worked against some types of cancers. It allows patients to avoid surgery and other types of more invasive treatment. 3️⃣ Hazing scandal: The case involving 11 lacrosse players at a high school in Syracuse, New York, shows that it can happen even in the most tight-knit communities. Experts say preventing hazing is harder than you might think because it's a practice that thrives on secrecy. 4️⃣ 'Zombie volcano': When Uturuncu — a lofty peak in Bolivia's Andes Mountains — started stirring after hundreds of thousands of years, scientists wondered if an eruption was imminent. They used satellite data and computer models to piece together what's happening. 5️⃣ Wash your hands: It's a pretty basic concept, right? Plus, we all just went through a global pandemic not too long ago. But a new survey found that nearly half of Americans still don't know how and when to lather, scrub and rinse.
