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.

Happy Madison, Adam Sandler's production company, bought the rights to a short film, Pixels, which has became a viral hit on YouTube. The comic actor is in talks with Columbia Pictures to develop a 3D movie based on the idea.

The film depicts a cartoon-like sci-fi invasion of New York City by iconic videogame characters, such as Pac Man gobbling the subway, 8-bit creatures turning buildings into building blocks, and even a King Kong attacking from the Empire State Building.

Patrick Jean, who created the inventive short, is a director for One More Production, a full-service visual effects company based in Paris that makes commercials, music videos and other films.
