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 bare-knuckle boxing drama stars Channing Tatum as a quick-fisted Alabama lunk and Terrence Howard as the hustler with a heart who mentors him.
Both men turn in soulful performances, and the director charges New York with the energy and edginess that it had in the days of Midnight Cowboy and Taxi Driver. But beneath the film's scuffed exterior, it's an old-fashioned fairy tale perpetuating the dubious idea that handsome white men are the world's best boxers.
