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.Perhaps Daniel Day-Lewis should have swapped roles with Harrison Ford in Firewall, because he's too young to play an eco-warrior who built an island commune in 1967. Still, there's no doubt that his acting is typically phenomenal. His commune long-gone, he lives the good life with his 16-year-old daughter, until he spoils things by inviting his girlfriend, Catherine Keener, to join them in their Eden, along with her two teenaged sons. One of them immediately catches a snake, which could possibly be symbolic. The film is fascinating in many ways, but wafts around all over the place, which is sometimes what happens when a writer directs her own script, and casts her husband in the lead role.
