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.Ray Winstone adopts an unconvincing Sith Ifrican accent as an ex-guerrilla from the Boer War who heads to New Zealand post conflict to lick his wounds.
Winstone's Van Diemen is a bushman with an uncanny ability for tracking. As such, he's assigned by the local British Army Major to hunt down Temuera Morrison's Kereama – a Maori accused of the murder of a soldier. As Winstone catches up with his prey and they take it in turns to capture each other, they – what else?– develop a mutual respect before Van Diemen wonders if he should really be casting in his lot with the British army who humiliated him in Africa. Predictable stuff but a great advert for the New Zealand tourist board.
