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.

Toby Amies' fascinating, very touching documentary profiles the eccentric exhibitionist Drako Oho Zarhazar at the end of his life.

He lives in a tiny Brighton flat cluttered with his memorabilia (and lots of gay pornography).

His short-term memory is gone but living up to his own slogan – Trust Absolute Unconditional – he has achieved an unlikely equanimity.

Viewers are likely to share Amies' mix of affection, exasperation and fascination with his subject.
