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.

This Belgian curio tells a Tom Sawyerish tale of brothers surviving on the edges of society.

Abandoned by their mother, Zak (Zacharie Chasseriaud) and Seth (Martin Nissen) pal up with fellow waif Dany (Paul Bartel) and drift about a summer landscape of abandoned farms, broken trailers and long, winding rivers.

Writer-director Bouli Lanners values patience and the silent drama of the human face, allowing his young cast all the time they need to convey insecurity, boredom, fear and the sudden emergencies of fending for oneself.

Marthe Keller provides a charming cameo as a surrogate mum.
