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.This Danish heartwarmer recalls the heady days of 1969 and a sensitive 13-year-old's troubled rites of passage. Frits (Janus Dissing Rathke) is assaulted at his new school by the sadistic headmaster (Bent Mejding) whose iron rule cows pupils and parents alike. Writer-director Niels Arden Oplev renders the integrity of this rebel teen a touch too winsome; if Frits were just a little less righteous he would be more believable. One might also wish away the echoes of Dead Poets Society.
