The Independent solicits donations to fund on-the-ground reporting across major US issues and to keep reporting accessible without paywalls. Donations enable journalists to report from both sides and allow quality journalism to remain free for readers. Director Jim Jarmusch expressed disappointment and concern after Mubi accepted an investment connected to Sequoia Capital, which secured $100m and holds a stake in Kela, a defence-tech startup founded by Israeli intelligence units after the 7 October attacks. Mubi's CCO Jason Ropell contacted Jarmusch; Jarmusch emphasized a longstanding positive working relationship with Mubi, said he was concerned, and directed inquiries to the streamer.
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.
Yes, I have spoken to Mubi about it, and I have a very good relationship particularly with [CCO] Jason Ropell at Mubi who called me immediately. He had not been made aware when this relationship was made, Jarmusch said on Sunday at a press conference for Father Mother Sister Brother, which premiered later the same day. My relationship with Mubi started much before that, and they were fantastic to work with on this film.
