Your support helps us to tell the story

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. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Will Ferrell's latest absurdity is a Mexican-set Western, spoken entirely in Spanish.

In it the shifty-looking comic plays Armando, a humble and not terribly smart rancher who falls for his drug dealer brother's ravishing bride (Genesis Rodriquez) and is forced to act against Gael Garcia Bernal's camp villain. There are no belly laughs in this Mel Brooks-like spoof of telenovelas, but the passionate scene featuring Ferrell (below) and Rodriguez's bottoms is rather unforgettable. Ultimately, it feels like an overlong Two Ronnies sketch.
