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.Maybe Ed Blum was hoping to prove that film-making is a walk in the park: his directorial debut consists entirely of seven couples strolling very slowly around Hampstead Heath and chatting very slowly about their relationships. The impressive cast includes Ewan McGregor, Adrian Lester, Gina McKee, Hugh Bonneville and Catherine Tate (the screenplay is by Aschlin Ditta, co-writer of The Catherine Tate Show).
But the directing is defiantly flair-free, and if you bugged seven real conversations on the Heath at random, you'd wouldn't hear anything as unconvincing or as vapid as the arch banter in Scenes of a Sexual Nature.
