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.Miriam Yeung is a retired Hong Kong soap star who resorts to drastic measures when her businessman husband has an affair with a younger woman. She visits Bai Ling, a brassy cook who lives with her pet poodle in a shabby block of flats. Despite Bai Ling's unpromising appearance, the dim sum she prepares has an amazing rejuvenating effect on anyone who eats it, thanks to a not-so-secret ingredient: aborted human foetuses, minced and boiled. Yes, Dumplings is revolting, largely due to the slurps and scrunches on the soundtrack, but it's not a horror film as much as it's a weirdly cheerful satirical fable. A delicious acquired taste.
