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.

Very little happens, very slowly, in this Chilean road-trip drama, though it's not without moments of grace.

Ten-year-old Lucia (Santi Ahumada) understands more than she lets on, sitting in the back seat of the family estate as her parents (Francisco Pérez-Bannen, Paola Giannini) quietly simmer towards the end of their marriage.

Over a long weekend outing to the remote northern wilds of Chile, director Dominga Sotomayor keeps close watch on the family dynamics and the play of emotion over Ahumada's sweet, open face.

It has the pre-emptive air of childhood memory: the endless road, the stopovers, the songs around the campfire and the imperceptible sound of grown-ups breaking apart.
