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.LIFE tells the story of photographer Dennis Stock (Robert Pattinson) who was assigned to photograph a rebellious young actor on the cusp of stardom, James Dean (Dane DeHaan).
The two take a trip from LA to Dean’s hometown of Fairmont, Indiana, via Times Square, New York so that Stock could, in his words, capture Dean in all the environments that had “affected and shaped the unique character”.
Stock thinks he’s capturing a star in the moment before he breaks; in fact, he’s documenting Dean’s last moments of intimacy and simplicity. Their trip would result in some of the most iconic images of the age and a new breed of film star.
To celebrate the release of LIFE in cinemas, three lucky readers can win a copy of Dennis Stock: James Dean, a new book containing the photographs taken by Stock of Dean during the period in which LIFE is set.
LIFE is in cinemas 25 September.
