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.Filmmaker Lynne Ramsay is returning to the Cannes Film Festival this year as part of the jury that will choose the winner of the coveted Palme d'Or.
She will join stars including Nicole Kidman and Oscar-winning director Ang Lee on the panel at the annual industry bash in the south of France.
Glasgow-born Ramsay was in the running for the top prize herself two years ago when We Need To Talk About Kevin was screened at the festival, but lost out to Terrence Malick's The Tree Of Life.
Other names on the jury, which is headed by Steven Spielberg, include French star Daniel Auteuil and Oscar winner Christoph Waltz.
Ramsay recently hit the headlines after she reportedly failed to show up for work on the western Jane Got A Gun.
