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 brutal 1977 revenge drama was one of the first films to examine the after effects of serving in Vietnam.
William Devane's Major Charles Rane, a PoW who was tortured by the Vietcong, returns to a hero's welcome in San Antonio, before going home to discover his wife has shacked up with another man. His problems escalate when a group of roughnecks enter his house, amputate his hand and murder his family. Rane tracks down the murderers down to Mexico, accompanied by Linda (Linda Haynes) who's taken a shine to this killing machine. This is also notable for Tommy Lee Jones's performance as Rane's war buddy.
