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.This slight and picturesque faux-documentary is like a family photo album brought to life.
It describes the daily routines of reef fishermen in Mexico's Banco Chinchorro, where a five-year-old boy, Natan, raised by his Italian mother, has gone to holiday with his cool dad, Jorge, and grandfather. Essentially, it's a record of filial togetherness, set around a coral community where lobster and barracuda, speared in the ocean deep, will end up as supper, while crocodiles munch on the leftovers. The pace is gentle, the characterisation minimal, the location breathtaking.
