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.

"I'm having my usual trouble, noticing how beautiful the world is just as I might be leaving it," Ethan Hawke's Will Knott narrates in Keith Gordon's strikingly photographed Second World War movie from 1992.

It's 1944 and a depleted squad of young soldiers (including Kevin Dillon, Frank Whaley and Peter Berg), are stationed in the snowy French countryside. These twitchy soldiers and the Germans they're stalking have lost their appetite for the fight, but can both sides engineer it so that no lives are lost? A bold plan is set in place, but it goes horribly wrong. A Midnight Clear, based on William Wharton's novel, is like its participants, an above-intelligent war movie.
