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.Man Push Cart is set in the New York you don't see in The Devil Wears Prada. Its Pakistani hero, Ahmad, sells coffee and bagels from a street-corner booth which he has to drag from its garage at some unearthly hour every morning, when no one else is awake in the city that never sleeps. For him and his fellow immigrants, a job in Dunkin' Donuts is the stuff of dreams. The film is a hypnotic portrait of Ahmad's gloomy netherworld, but its plotting is so perfunctory that Ramin Bahrani would have done just as well to make a documentary.
