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.Funny Bones (right) The best comedies are often the ones which dance with darkness, and though you wouldn't call Pater Chelsom's follow- up to Hear My Song a great movie by any means, it toys with more ideas than it knows what to do with. The film's greatest asset is Jerry Lewis, a towering demon of a father to his nerdy spawn.
Land and Freedom Ken Loach's tough but compassionate drama doesn't pretend that the Spanish Civil War could have been won simply through Communist unity, but it does insist that this is the foundation on which every cause must be based. Ian Hart is touching as the idealist who leaves 1930s Liverpool to help defeat Franco.
While You Were Sleeping No masterpiece, but a sweet way to pass an afternoon. Sandra Bullock is the subway ticket collector who poses as commuter Peter Gallagher's girlfriend when he falls into a coma (don't ask). A winning romantic comedy.
