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.

Imagine devising a comic scenario about London couples in romantic difficulties, but instead of hiring Richard Curtis to write the screenplay you got, say, John Prescott instead. The result would play something like this. Col Spector's debut feature starts out with would-be lothario Stephen Mangan two-timing his steady girlfriend (Susan Lynch), dumping her and then falling flat on his face when the "someone else" in his life (Lara Belmont) rejects him.

The press blurb suggests that male viewers will see this and wonder "how someone got inside your head to find this stuff out..." I don't think so, unless by "this stuff" they mean acting like a dick and feeling sorry for yourself when you get found out.
