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.

In 1968, married couple Ruth and Paul live with Paul's repressive parents and struggle to accept the unexplained death of their daughter, Alice. In 1987, a second family's daughter blames her troubled behaviour on her "dead" invisible friend Alice. In 2010, a couple expecting their first child move to Marchlands to find their lives unsettled, before Ruth returns to find out what happened to her daughter. It may sound like a run-of-the-mill ghost story, but the decade-hopping, strong cast and detailed examinations of family relationships here prove absorbing.
