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.

On Saturday 28 October, we are giving away a copy of Madame Bovary free in every copy of the print edition of the newspaper.

Based on Flaubert’s classic novel, Chabrol’s beautiful film of the same name details one young woman’s descent into chaos and despair.

As Emma Bovary’s romantic fantasies get the better of her and start to impose on her mundane existence, she begins an affair with tragic consequences.

Starring: Isabelle Huppert, Christophe Malavoy, Jean-François Balmer, Jean Yanne, Lucas Belvaux.

Don’t miss your free copy this Saturday 28 October
