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.Ranging from pollination to pollution, this survey of environmental cinema opens with the bee-based documentary More Than Honey, then closes next Saturday with Jeremy Irons in the global-waste travelogue Trashed (pictured above).
In between, a buzzing bill of talks and screenings – 50-plus over 17 cities – aims to entertain and enlighten, with off-the-grid films including Valley of Saints, a love story set against a politically fraught backdrop, and Solar Taxi, a road movie like no other.
Alt-travel ideas also fuel The Man Who Lived on His Bike, part of a stuffed shorts selection that also sees Stephen Fry narrating Aardman's very touching The Lonely Dodo.
