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.

Cinemagoers say 3D adds little to the movie experience, in a poll that indicates the format is failing to win over audiences.

Just 22 per cent of respondents to a survey by Yougov believed 3D improved a film; 28 per cent felt it made no difference – and 19 per cent thought it made it worse.

Charlotte Jones, a senior cinema analyst with IHS Screen Digest, said: "Some of the studios have looked at 3D as a bit of a cash cow and that has alienated some audiences. But I expect 3D to regain its credibility, with projects from Steven Spielberg, Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese yet to come."
