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.

‘Banshees of Inisherin’, ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ and ’Elvis’ follow close behind
Over the afternoon, we will be sharing reactions from certain nominees as they roll in.
First up, we have Sara Dosa, the director of National Geographic’s acclaimed documentary Fire of Love, which follows a married couple who spent their lives photographing volcanoes.
It is an incredible privilege to be recognised by BAFTA and receive a nomination for Fire of Love. Katia and Maurice Kraffts’ footage and legacy were sources of profound inspiration and I feel so honored and grateful to have gotten to tell their story. It was a labor of love to make this film in such a collaborative way with my wonderful team as we always looked to the Kraffts as our North Star. I’m so happy that the joy and awe we had making Fire of Love has resonated.
