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.

This Australian revenge drama's opening scene is revealing: 17-year-old J watches TV, while his mother lies next to him, dead from an overdose.

No sentimentality or screaming, just the realisation that he'd best go live with some other relatives. His extended criminal family are barbarously terrifying. There's little on-screen violence, but tension is ratcheted up to a near unbearable degree. Brutishly intense and utterly believable.
