"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"
"Jafar Panahi wants to go home. To be honest, my time is being totally wasted with all this travel, the filmmaker tells me from a New York hotel room, amid a months-long international press tour. I cannot wait for it to be over and to go back to Iran, sit down, and get to work. As much a professional mischief-maker as he is a political dissident, simultaneously despised and feared by the Iranian authorities, Panahi cracks a wry smile."
