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.

A legion of actors, including Lindsay Lohan, Glenn Close and (best of all) Marisa Tomei, read the doodlings and writings of Hollywood's most luminous star, Marilyn Monroe. Frankly, their thespian interpretations are the least interesting element of Liz Garbus's rather too gushing documentary. Her film is more compelling when it concentrates on archive footage and interviews with her contemporaries, Billy Wilder, Jack Lemmon and a prickly Laurence Olivier.
