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.The nominations for the 69th British Academy Film Awards have been revealed by Stephen Fry and Gugu Mbatha-Raw, where The Big Short, Carol and Bridge of Spies are expected to fight it out for Best Film.
Though American films once again dominate the main category in what has arguably been a weak year for cinema, Outstanding British Film has some notable gems including The Lobster, The Danish Girl and Ex Machina.
The ceremony will be held on 14 February 2016 at the Royal Opera House, once again hosted by Stephen Fry.
