With Urchin, Harris Dickinson announces himself as a gutsy new filmmaker  review
"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 journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"And he's moved that discerning hand of his behind the lens for his directorial debut, Urchin. It's the opposite of a vanity project. In fact, it's exactly the kind of work you hope for from an actor-turned-director proof that Dickinson hasn't wasted the enviable cinematic education provided to him by past collaborators Joanna Hogg, Steve McQueen and Babygirl's Halina Reijn, and that he's meaningfully considered what he can contribute by stepping behind the camera."
The Independent solicits donations to fund on-the-ground reporting across issues including reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, and keeps reporting free by avoiding paywalls. Donations enable investigations into matters like Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and the production of documentaries such as 'The A Word', which highlights American women fighting for reproductive rights. Harris Dickinson will portray John Lennon in Sam Mendes' Beatles biopics and has made his directorial debut with Urchin. Urchin follows social-realist traditions with influences from Mike Leigh, Joanna Hogg and Steve McQueen, blending abstraction and observational humour to portray Mike (Frank Dillane), homeless, addicted and marginalised.
