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.Set against a backdrop of Iran in upheaval, ex-con and security guard Ali Alavi is a man in isolation, working or hunting alone in the woods and never having enough time with his wife and daughter.
Caught in a robbery's crossfire, then coming up against the state's bureaucracy, the pressure drives Ali to a shocking act of random violence. He is pursued into the same woods he used to hunt, the predator becoming the prey. Rafi Pitts wrote, directed and also gives a moving performance as Ali. Yet, with little dialogue and much of the action occurring off-screen, the film is hard work. Rarely has 90 minutes felt so long.
