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.Dom is a confident lad who falls in with the local firm of football hooligans and its charismatic yet explosive "top boy" Bex.
As he is dragged further into the away-day bust-ups with the police, Dom, Calum McNab, alienates his friends and family and finds Bex may not be the role model he thought. The film is bold and brash, riffing heavily on its 1980s setting with loud neon lights and even louder outfits, while director Nick Love who brought the world Danny Dyer with The Football Factory is in his element. Yet it treads all the usual steps of the football hooligan movie, with the same blokes boozing, sneering and fighting the same fights. If you don't want to be "mugged off" seek out The Firm starring Gary Oldman from 1988 instead.
