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 final two films starring the late Glee actor Cory Monteith will be screened at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival.
All the Wrong Reasons and McCarnick will be among the line-up for the September movie showcase.
The 31-year-old Canadian, best-known for his character Finn Hudson in the hit TV show Glee, died from a heroin and alcohol overdose on 13 July.
In McCarnick the actor plays Simon Weeks, a young convict battling a drug problem after leaving jail.
For this role Monteith's appearance is starkly altered, his clean-cut all-American image transformed into that of a rugged, long-haired and hoodie-wearing lout (watch the trailer, above).
The Toronto film festival runs from 5 to 15 September.
