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.This sombre and rather chilling documentary examines a specific terrorist attack - the suicide bombing of a Jerusalem bus in June 2002 - from multiple angles. Israeli forensic footage, Hamas military video and news coverage are interwoven with personal testimony from doctors, firemen, paramedics and those who survived or had loved ones killed in the blast.
Most surprising of all is the inquiry into the family of the suicide bomber himself, a counterbalance to the weight of Israeli sympathy and a reminder, if any were needed, of the intractable nature of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The bomber's driver, now in prison, is unrepentant.
