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.Pat Collins' essayistic film follows a sound recordist (played by poet and the director's co-writer Eoghan Mac Giolla Bhríde) as he wanders round a remote part of Donegal attempting to record landscapes free from man-made noise.
Collins films the landscapes in loving fashion and shows Eoghan planting his huge, furry microphone in fields, forests or at the sea's edge.
Wherever Eoghan goes, there are traces of the past and of human loss. He meets people who reflect on time, silence and solitude. The storytelling is mournful and enigmatic but in its quiet, inscrutable way, this is a beautiful piece of film-making.
