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.

Runaway Vacation is a family comedy about an overworked businessman (Robin Williams) who takes his reluctant wife (Cheryl Hines) and two kids on holiday in a mobile home which is larger than a U2 tour bus. It's much less repulsive than the equivalent Steve Martin fiascos. But it's still a road movie that never gets out of second gear. Williams and co have a mishap with a sewage pipe, they fight off a raccoon, and they share a camp site with a clan of folk-singing trailer trash led by Jeff Daniels. But so what? Most of us have more eventful holidays than that every year.
