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.

Seething, outraged and appalled. Those are just a few components of the emotional Molotov cocktail that Inside Job, Charles Ferguson's Oscar-winning documentary of the 2008 financial crash, evokes.

The film gives potent analysis of the worst crash since the Great Depression. An impressive multitude of economic experts give testimonies against the evils of financial deregulation and unchecked greed, while Matt Damon offers an uncomplicated narrative. Inside Job does not offer a happy ending. In fact, the ending – which reveals that most of the chief orchestrators of the crash are still in positions of supreme power – is the worst (and most compelling) part.
