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.The cast of upcoming film Machete includes Robert DeNiro, Lindsay Lohan, Don Johnson, Cheech Marin, Steven Seagal, Jessica Alba ( Valentine's Day), Michelle Rodriguez ( Avatar), and Danny Trejo who will star in the upcoming Predators and Sylvester Stallone movie The Expendables.
Written and co-directed by Robert Rodriguez ( Spy Kids films, Sin City, Desperado) with Ethan Maniquis, this action-thriller shows an ex-federal agent launching a brutal attack of revenge on an organization after being betrayed by a former boss.
The film releases in September in the US and several other countries, but the trailer hit theaters last weekend with a "special message for the state of Arizona," expressing the Mexican-American director's protest against the controversial law Arizona passed recently allowing local law enforcement to inquire about a person's immigrant status.
The idea for the film is based on a popular fake trailer for Rodriguez's film Grindhouse.
