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.

Know anything of the vagus nerve? You will after this, and perhaps also marvel at the way a character seemingly struck dead can all of a sudden spring back to life.
Donnie Chen plays the gentle family man and papermaker whose real identity is blown when he's forced to defend his village from two violent clansmen.
Takeshi Kaneshiro is the police investigator who first twigs that the papermaker isn't all he seems. The fight scenes are so-so, the medical lowdown on body wounds the most intricate since Three Kings.
