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.In this hard-hitting debut, former foreign correspondent Caroline Brothers imagines the realities of life for a pair of young asylum seekers hoping for a new start in the West.
When 14-year-old Aryan and his eight-year-old brother Kabir leave Afghanistan after the violent deaths of both parents, they have little idea of what lies ahead. The boys have barely made it from Turkey to Greece when abducted to work as slave labourers on a farm.
Their plight shouldn't get worse, but it does. Brothers uses her journalistic skills to tell a story that has the horrible ring of truth.
