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.Stacie Passon's drama is like Luis Buñuel's Belle de Jour without much of the humour or surrealism.
Robin Weigert plays a middle-class, middle-aged lesbian wife and mother who, after receiving a concussive blow on the head, becomes a prostitute for other women.
Her clients are a varied mix, ranging from overweight students to career women. It is hard to work out what she is searching for in her new life or what, beyond suburban boredom, she is trying to escape.
