"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."
"I absolutely loved it, she said of the process. I truly felt Christy's power as I transformed. And I really enjoyed being able to train and work with incredible boxing coaches and weight trainers and nutritionists that helped me get to the place that I was for Christy. The Euphoria star also confessed how nervous she felt on set at first, since Martin herself was there. Sweeney acknowledged that she was portraying such an inspiring, incredible woman, and she wanted to do justice to Martin."
The Independent sends reporters to cover issues from reproductive rights and climate change to Big Tech, investigating items such as Elon Musk's pro‑Trump PAC and producing documentaries like 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The organization remains paywall‑free, relies on donations to fund on‑the‑ground journalism, and emphasizes reporting across the political spectrum to present multiple perspectives. Sydney Sweeney transformed physically to portray boxer Christy Martin in David Michod's biopic, gaining 30 pounds, following a strict nutrition plan, and boxing for hours daily. Sweeney described loving the process, feeling Christy's power, training with expert coaches, and feeling initial nerves with Martin present.
