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.

A seasoned hitman and his callow apprentice wait in a dark suburban house for their target to come home, but events take a turn for the supernatural. A spooky hybrid of East End gangster movie and Hammer Horror film, The Devil's Business could hardly look any cheaper or ropier, but there's enough intelligence in the play-like dialogue to make you wish it had been filmed by a better director with a bigger budget.
The Bird (91 mins, 12A)
A taciturn woman (Sandrine Kiberlain) potters around Bordeaux, making more of a connection with the feral pigeon in her flat than with any of her friends and colleagues. The reason for her isolation is moving, when it emerges, but Kiberlain's introverted performance keeps the viewer, as well as the film's other characters, at arm's length. Very French.
