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.

Based on Jan Terlouw's children's novel of the same name, this Dutch film is based around the Netherlands' Hunger Winter of 1944 and asks interesting questions about collusion and the lengths people might go to to stay alive during the Nazi occupation.

Following the story of a 16-year-old boy who is determined to help a crashed RAF pilot, it is not quite on the level of that other Dutch war film of late, Black Book – but it's a lot safer to watch with teenagers.
