"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. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"The red carpet has been rolled out at the 79th Cannes Film Festival in the South of France. The French Riviera festival beginning Tuesday will include 12 days of nonstop world premieres before culminating May 23 with the presentation of the Palme d'Or, the festival's top honor and one of the film industry's most prestigious awards. The festivities kick off with the opening-night film, The Electric Kiss, a French period-comedy, and the awarding of an honorary Palme d'Or to the Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson."
"What isn't at Cannes has been as buzzed about as much as what is. Hollywood is largely absent this year. While blockbusters like Top Gun: Maverick and Elvis have touched down at previous incarnations, studio films this year have been either scared away by the possibility of a rocky reception or by the high cost of flying in A-listers to the Cote d'Azur. The closest thing in Cannes' slate is an anniversary celebration for Fast & Furious."
The Independent emphasizes on-the-ground reporting and separating facts from messaging across issues including reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech. It highlights investigations into political financing and documentary work focused on American women fighting for reproductive rights. It states that donations fund journalists and that reporting remains accessible without paywalls. At the 79th Cannes Film Festival on the French Riviera, 12 days of nonstop world premieres run until May 23, when the Palme d'Or will be awarded. The opening-night film is The Electric Kiss, and Peter Jackson receives an honorary Palme d'Or. Hollywood presence is limited, with studio films deterred by concerns about reception and the expense of bringing A-list talent to the Cote d’Azur.
