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.Britain's film industry is shrinking. When the world's cinematic gliterati jet into Cannes for this year's film festival they will head for the prestigious conference hall. But behind the scenes, a humble converted caravan will be flying the Union Flag, writes James Cusick.
Billed as "The smallest cinema in the world", the finishing touches to the mobile movie house are taking place in a railway arch in Battersea, London (right). After taking it to Cannes, Richard Kilgarriff and Emma Dugdal Moore (above) will move on to the Edinburgh Film Festival, then Utah, where it may play a supporting role in Robert Redford's Sundance Festival.
