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 brilliant journalist (Michael Nyqvist) is down on his luck after an investigation goes wrong when he is framed for libel by a crooked billionaire industrialist.

He is pencilled in for a bit of "me time" at the Swedish government's pleasure. Until then, he takes an assignment from a sympathetic billionaire businessman, (there's loads of billionaires in Sweden) to uncover the strange disappearance of his young niece 40 years earlier.

What ensues is a gruesome tale of serial murder with more twists than a Sixties dance-athon. The two main characters from Stieg Larsson's book are both anti-heroes, one the world-weary reporter, the other a Goth computer hacker, Lisbeth Salander (Noomi Rapace) – one of the most intriguing and dysfunctional creations in modern literature. Click the English version, pop a bottle of red, crack open the popcorn and watch it spookily late, with a mate.
