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.

Forget last year's two live-action film versions of Snow White.

Pablo Berger's wittily gothic Spanish version turns the fairy tale into a black-and-white silent melodrama set in 1920s Seville. Snow White is a bullfighter's daughter, the dwarves are travelling toreadors, and the wicked stepmother is a gold-digging dominatrix. It would be perfect in a double bill with The Artist, but Blancanieves deserves to be a cult hit in its own right.
