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.A gentle, poetic rumination on death and grieving.
On a deserted road in a somnolent Mexican town, a 16-year-old boy (Diego Catano) crashes the family car into a telegraph pole. He goes off in search of help and spare parts – from a weathered mechanic, a single mother and a Kung Fu fanatic – in the course of which we begin to understand the boy's air of reticent agitation. The writer-director, Fernando Eimbcke, uses his camera in the manner of the old silents, and keeps dialogue to a minimum – one of the best performances comes from a boxer dog. Folksy and a bit twee, but its heart is sound.
