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.

An unholy amalgam of Lord of the Flies, The Blue Lagoon and The Admirable Crichton, in which Billy Zane and real-life fiancée Kelly Brook star as a rich snob and his wife, shipwrecked on a desert island and forced to rely on a handsome Latin boatboy for survival. Soon, boatboy and Brook are exchanging smouldering glances, and we're all set for primal conflict. The big surprise is that Brook's performance is a long way from being the most embarrassing aspect of the film. At odd moments it rises to risibility, but mostly it is just dull.
