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.

Black Book, scripted in Dutch and German, is on one level an old-fashioned war movie about courage and survival; on another, it subverts assumptions about the nobility of Resistance fighters, some of whom are seen to be as brutal as the Nazis. Carice van Houten stars as a Jewish chanteuse who, having witnessed the slaughter of her family, goes undercover to insinuate herself into the affections of an SS bigwig.
