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.Robert Rodriguez has gone from making hard-boiled Mexican Westerns (El Mariachi and Desperado) to candy-coloured action adventures for all the family (Spy Kids).
No denying his energy, but it's like the energy of a kid with attention deficit disorder: his stories can't settle on anything for more than a few minutes. Shorts virtually acknowledges the problem, being a scattergun ensemble of mini-episodes centred upon the transformational properties of a "Rainbow Rock". This object, passing from one hand to another, has the power to make wishes come true. My own wish: to have been somewhere other than the screening room where this movie was playing.
