Your support helps us to tell the story

My recent work focusing on Latino voters in Arizona has shown me how crucial independent journalism is in giving voice to underrepresented communities.

Your support is what allows us to tell these stories, bringing attention to the issues that are often overlooked. Without your contributions, these voices might not be heard.

Every dollar you give helps us continue to shine a light on these critical issues in the run up to the election and beyond

How do films make you feel? The Independent gets personal about cinema and TV with actors, directors, cinematographers and other people from the continually evolving world of "content" in a new fortnightly podcast hosted by Culture Editor Christopher Hooton.

Jake Gyllenhaal is an actor who gives a quiet but powerful performance, and has been experimenting with some different genres in recent years. Film reporter Jacob Stolworthy winds up talking to him about Nightcrawler and oddity Bubble Boy, how he chooses films, his sister Maggie's move into television (and whether he'd do the same) and his latest film, Stronger.
