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.Two of 2010's hot young film stars, Gemma Arterton ( Clash of the Titans, Prince of Persia) and Andrew Garfield ( The Social Network and upcoming Spider-Man film) have signed on for a new Michael Mann ( Public Enemies, Miami Vice, Ali) period film, Capa.
The story of a romance between war photographers Robert Capa and Gerda Taro, who met in Paris in 1935, the screenplay is based on Susana Fortes' award-winning novel Waiting for Robert Capa.
During the Spanish Civil War, the German woman and Hungarian man, both Jewish exiles, changed their identities to cover the war, and fell in love, until tragedy struck at the Battle of Brunette.
Her real name, Gerta Pohorylle, became Taro as a homage to the Japanese artist Taro Okamoto. Endre Friedmann chose Robert Capa as a mix of actor Robert Taylor and film director Frank Capra, so he might appear American.
Garfield is currently shooting the as yet untitled Spider-Man reboot in the lead role and recently costarred in Never Let Me Go as well as The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus.
Arterton has shot blockbusters like Quantum of Solace, as well as independent films such as Tamara Drewe and Pirate Radio.
According to Collider, Mann is seeking to make a gritty low-budget film.
