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.

You wait for years for some really big, meaty movies and what happens? They all come along at once. Having already been blessed with the splendid Heat and Seven in the space of a month, last week was close to overkill. But after a photo-finish, the results are in, and Trainspotting has steamed ahead, winning by a nose on 12 screens to Casino's 11 and beating Sense and Sensibility, which is better than both of them. (All figures denote weekend box-office only)
