An eerie vision of the forest at night
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.

Sharpe’s Wood is a collection of photographs taken over four years by Liza Dracup. They reflect the photographer’s fascination for the “mystery” contained within large expanses of trees and overgrown foliage.
The exhibition, which captures woodland around Dracup’s native Bradford, will go on show at the Pitzhanger Manor for its London premiere from Friday until early next year.
The photographs are shot between dusk and dawn, often when the trees are shrouded in darkness. Dracup relies only on natural light from the moon, streetlights and the beams of passing cars for illumination.
Dracup says that the fear she experiences going out to work at the dead of night in spooky forests is her “driving force.” She wants to peer into the shadows to reveal unfamiliar and magical views of a familiar setting.
