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.Although the film kicks off like an awkwardly cheerful advert for condoms, the 127 minutes of football mania that follow are fairly enjoyable.
The story follows teen football manager Dudu, his young protégé Fabrice and his sister Beatrice, on an epic journey from their native Rwanda to the World Cup in Johannesburg.
This 'dream team' is helped on their quest by George, a child soldier, and Celeste, a child prostitute. Though somewhat clichéd, the children's naïve sense of hope, determination and courage ultimately win you over. A fun family film that never loses sight of its optimism, even when a harsher reality strikes.
