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.There's cleverness enough in this Australian backpacker drama without it stretching the nerves quite so tautly as the horrific Wolf Creek. Brit traveller Alex (Shaun Evans), en route to see his girlfriend Sophie (Amelia Warner), is befriended by American drifter Taylor (Scott Mechlowicz); the couple, having taken up the American's offer of a lift, gradually discover that Taylor might be more than just a cuckoo in the nest. Director Ringan Ledwidge relies too heavily in the early scenes on poppy montages, but once the trio reaches the outback and the sexual tension mounts he suddenly tightens the noose to leave us fighting for breath. Gone, but not forgotten.
