The Independent emphasizes the critical need for quality journalism in reporting on issues like reproductive rights and climate change. They highlight their commitment to providing unfettered access to news without paywalls, making it available for all. Filmmakers like Iranian director Mohammad Rasoulof discuss the barriers they face from their governments in accessing major platforms like the Oscars. Rasoulof's perspective underscores the struggles independent filmmakers endure while navigating censorship. The openness of reporting and the voices of marginalized artists are crucial during such pivotal moments in history.
The Oscars were never part of my imagination because I was always at war with the Iranian government.
A lot of independent filmmakers in Iran think that we would never be able to make it to the Oscars.
We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
