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.

Crumb Riveting, bizarre and often grim, this is a portrait of the artist as a fruitcake. Robert Crumb is every bit as peculiar as his cult cartoon strips would suggest; just wait until you meet the rest of the family.

Death and the Maiden Catch up with this for Sigourney Weaver's towering, unspeakably fragile performance as the torture victim who wreaks an unsparing revenge on the man she believes was her tormentor (Ben Kingsley).

Bullets over Broadway The dark undercurrents of Woody Allen's Prohibition- era comedy never quite convince, but everything else is right on the money, including the dotty cast: Chazz Palminteri, Jim Broadbent and the deserved Oscar winner Dianne Wiest as an actress who makes demands on playwright John Cusack (right).
