"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. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"Mohammad Bakri, the renowned actor and filmmaker who sought to share the complexities of Palestinian identity and culture through a variety of works in Arabic and Hebrew, died on Wednesday. He was 72. Bakri was best known for directing Jenin, Jenin, a 2003 documentary about an Israeli military operation in the northern West Bank city the previous year during the second Palestinian intifada. The film, focusing on the wide destruction and heartbreak of the city's Palestinian people, was banned by Israel."
