A reporter at the San Sebastian Film Festival in Spain asked Hollywood star Angelina Jolie about challenges to free expression, an unspoken nod to President Donald Trump's crackdown on the media. The media world was shaken last Wednesday night by the news that ABC had suspended Kimmel's show indefinitely (he has since been reinstated) just hours after he was targeted by Brendan Carr, President Trump's hand-picked FCC commissioner.

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.

The otherworldly beauty and consuming, tattoo-strewn look of Angelina Jolie hasn't always allowed for a great deal of versatility as an actor, a difficult face to seamlessly slot into most stories. The star hasn't seemed to be all that interested in acting for a while anyway (since 2012, she has physically appeared on screen just seven times) and has preferred to spend time behind the camera and focusing on both her family and her philanthropic pursuits.

Angelina Jolie, Saoirse Ronan, and Keanu Reeves star in world premieres at the Toronto film festival's 50th edition, showcasing films seeking awards traction.
