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.

"It was unreal to find myself on set in a MI6 bunker playing Q's assistant," says Egyiawan, who has gone from Guildhall School of Music and Drama to the new Bond movie, Skyfall, in the space of a year.

"I only had about four lines." The winner of last year's Spotlight Prize for most promising drama school graduate is currently playing Louis the Dauphin and Lord Scroop in Henry V at Shakespeare's Globe. Before that he appeared in Headlong's Earthquakes in London and in King Lear and The Frontline, also at the Globe.
