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.Gael García Bernal, in his best role since Y Tu Mamá También, plays Rene, a skateboarding advertising hotshot tasked with running the 1988 “NO” campaign against General Pinochet's vicious Chilean dictatorship.
“We have to find a product that is attractive to people,” he maintains to his earnest employers – and sets about producing jolly jingles and “We Are the World”-style songs to put the regime-toppling message across. Pablo Larraín's intelligent drama shuns belligerence, favouring a muted tone, and it's all the more powerful for it.
