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.As a study of a woman attempting to cope with bereavement, The Fold registers strongly enough.
There is a sensitive and soulful performance from Catherine McCormack as an improbably beautiful Anglican priest, grieving over the death of her daughter.
The wrinkles here lie in a contrived plot which sees the priest befriend an impoverished and emotionally troubled Bulgarian teenager (Marina Stoimenova) who reminds her of the dead child.
The scenes between them are stilted and unconvincing in the extreme.
