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.'21' is based on the true story of the MIT maths whiz kids who made a fortune by counting cards in Las Vegas in the 1990s.
Jim Sturgess and Kate Bosworth play two of these students, and Kevin Spacey plays their tutor, who keeps telling his protégés that they're not gambling, they're simply instituting a foolproof mathematical system. Unfortunately for the viewer, he's right. There's no risk involved, so despite all the slow-motion and the booming sound effects that the director keeps piling on, it's about as thrilling as watching someone make an ATM withdrawal.
