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.

After seeing the film, Tyson called his story "a Greek tragedy", and the comparison between his glory years and the subsequent nosedive of both his personal and professional life means you have to agree. Yet the film often feels overly sympathetic and although Tyson talks a lot about his attitude to women and sex, he is never challenged when defending himself against his rape conviction. Tyson: the Movie is undoubtedly touching in parts, but you end up wishing Toback had interrogated him further.
