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.

And where better to watch an anniversary screening of a revolutionary movie than at a cinema owned by its creator? Quentin Tarantino has been the proprietor of the New Beverly Cinema in Hollywood since 2007, but, as of this month, he has started programming the theatre’s schedule himself – mostly with films from his own vast collection of rare 35mm prints. Last weekend featured Pulp Fiction and another 1994 favourite, The Professional (better known to UK audiences as Leon).
The New Beverly is that rare thing in today’s film world: a cinema devoted to revival and second run screenings. Before Pulp Fiction began on Sunday evening, we were treated to a Three Stooges short and several ads for the theatre’s upcoming attractions, including Bruce Lee’s Fists of Fury and two Steve McQueen movies. The ticket prices are traditional, too: a mere eight bucks (£5) for a double bill. “It’s about making some cool discoveries. These movies deserve a commercial venue, they deserve time on the silver screen,” Tarantino recently told LA Weekly. “If people come, fine. If they don’t, f*** them.”
