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.Justin Kerzel's film is about John Bunting, Australia's most notorious serial killer who was responsible for the "Bodies in the Barrels" murders in impoverished Snowtown, Adelaide, in the 1990s.
There are truly horrific, frankly unwatchable, scenes of brutality but, in the main, Kerzel concentrates on how the charismatic, perpetually grinning Bunting stirs up hatred – bigotry, homophobia and so on – among his neighbours, and how he ingratiates himself upon an impressionable, abused teenage boy. At no point does Snowtown let you off the hook, and Daniel Henshall is outstanding and chilling as Bunting.
