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.

UPDATE: You can buy tickets here.

Not many a cinephile will have had the chance to fly in for this year's Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.

Thankfully, the Sundance Institute and Picturehouse Central are teaming up once more to bring 14 highlights from this year's festival straight to London's silver screens.

The event is also set to include a programme of 15 shorts by both emerging and established independent filmmakers, including a dedicated UK strand; this year also marks the first time the festival will host a 'Surprise Film', bringing another Sundance highlight over for a very exclusive screening.

Another addition for 2017 is the Audience Favourite award, allowing festivalgoers their chance to vote on their favourite features, with a winner announced at the close of the four days.

You can see the full programme here, though we've put together a list of 7 highlights to watch out for, including the UK premiere of David Lowery's A Ghost Story, which has already received rave reviews from its Sundance screening.


Sundance London runs from 1-4 June.
