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.

Rebecca (Barbican)
One of Hitchcock's great films, a cross between a Gothic romance and a horror story, it stars Joan Fontaine as the young second mistress of Manderley, haunted by the memory of her mysterious predecessor. Today 4pm
2
Spellbound (Barbican)
Ingrid Bergman plays the analyst, Gregory Peck her tormented patient - and murder suspect - in this terrific psychodrama, most notable for a Dali-designed dream sequence. Sun 4pm
3
The Magnificent Ambersons (NFT)
Hacked to pieces by the studio in Welles's absence, this adaptation of the Booth Tarkington novel might have been one of the truly great movies of the century. Even in truncated form, it's still a must-see. Thur 7.30pm
4
Le Joueur de Flute (Cine Lumiere)
Jacques Demy's take on the story of the Pied Piper is riddled with anachronisms and misjudgments - but worth seeing for a cast that includes Donovan, Michael Hordern and Donald Pleasance. Mon 6.30pm
5
Went the Day Well? (NFT)
Based on a story by Graham Greene, this wartime thriller posits the idea of an English village infiltrated by German paratroopers. Strikingly violent for its time, it's a classic bit of homefront propaganda. Fri 7.30pm
