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.

Some of the tonsorial concoctions paraded in this affectionate documentary about afro hairdressers are a whisker away from absurdity, though no one will deny the commitment that goes into their creation.

Its focus is the Black Beauty and Hair Awards, where a variety of snippers and stylists turn up in a noticeably good-natured contest for one of the Oscar-style statuettes. Pleasant enough, but its natural home is surely television.
