Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Director: Joshua Dugdale, Origin: United Kingdom, Year: 2008, Duration: 90, Starring: Dalai Lama
Filmed over 4 years, The Unwinking Gaze is a unique portrait of the Dalai Lama, as he attempts to strike a balance between his religion and the realpolitik needed to engage China in order to resolve the future of Tibet.
With unprecedented access, this extraordinary documentary is privy to his public appearances, his private audiences and his most important meetings, charting the inside story of his struggle to win the hearts and minds of the leadership in Beijing.
The film ends with the Dalai Lama on the world stage uniting Democrats, Republicans and even George Bush in an astonishing appeal to China. The Unwinking Gaze is not 18 months in the life of the Dalai Lama; it is his life’s work in 18 months.
