Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

Even more impressive than the numbers – six years in the making; 11 decades covered; more than 1,000 film clips; 15 hours of interviews, poetically personal reveries and incisive commentary – is the excitement Mark Cousins' paean to the history of celluloid engenders in viewers to find (or re-find) the movies he waxes lyrical about.

Neither is this simply a history of Hollywood; this is a truly global, stunning and richly rewarding magnum opus.
