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.

This morose British four-hander is confined to an abandoned warehouse where a betrayed husband (Craig Conway) has hired a detective (Sean Pertwee) to bring him the louse who's been diddling his missus. But have they got the right man? Paul Chronnell's script meditates on male insecurity and possessiveness, though the attempt at menace unwisely borrows quotations from Hollywood movies that make it sound rather wannabe in consequence. The film's wild card is Kierston Wareing as the abducted wife with a marked unwillingness to play the victim. The moral of the story: if you kidnap someone, try to make sure he or she isn't nastier, sneakier and swearier than you are.
