"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."
"Song Sung Blue, about a pair of Neil Diamond tribute singers, conveniently hides behind its true story credentials. Enough of its improbable events are true that the film feels licensed to gussy up this story of Wisconsin big dreamers in whichever ways it likes. But the problem with this brand of Hollywood tale is that, by excessively romanticising their subjects, they diminish their humanity."
The Independent covers developments from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech, sending journalists to report on unfolding stories. Donations enable continued on-the-ground reporting and ensure reporting remains accessible without paywalls, funded by those who can afford it. Song Sung Blue portrays a pair of Neil Diamond tribute singers and uses true events to embellish a story of Wisconsin dreamers. Excessive romanticism in the film reduces the subjects' humanity. Greg Kohs's 2008 documentary inspired Craig Brewer's film, which collapses Mike and Claire Sardina's interior lives into triumph and tragedy. Hugh Jackman plays Mike; Kate Hudson plays Claire, who persuades him to become a Neil Diamond interpreter.
