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.

“That blonde lady peed all over your face,” maintains Macy Gray's maid to Zac Efron's horny teen, Jack, in this lurid crime drama. The lady is Nicole Kidman's trailer trash Charlotte who lusts after John Cusack's vile death row inmate. Feral Charlotte is grimly determined to quash his conviction, as is Matthew McConaughey's Miami Times reporter. Kidman captivates in this droll and savage adaptation of Pete Dexter's 1995 novel, set in 1960s Florida.
