"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."
"We have a slight problem with the Academy and its international section, said Panahi. The Academy does not have a specific programme for us. When making films, we can send them to international festivals and don't have the problem of getting an official permit from Iran. But when it comes to the Academy, we need to get permission from our own government."
The Independent covers a wide range of issues including reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech through on-the-ground reporting and investigative projects. The outlet investigates topics such as PAC finances and produces documentaries about American activists, arguing that funding allows journalists to report both sides of developing stories. The Independent operates without paywalls and asks for donations to sustain accessible, quality journalism. Iranian dissident director Jafar Panahi urged reforms to Academy submission rules so independent filmmakers in non-democratic countries do not have to obtain government permission. Panahi cited Iran's requirement to submit scripts to the Ministry of Guidance, which can demand omissions.
