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.

On the long list for this year's documentary Oscar, David Weissman's film looks back at the Aids epidemic in San Francisco.

Through a series of interviews with men (and one female nurse) caught up in the "Gay Plague", it chronicles the sudden shift from the carefree utopianism of the late 1970s to the horror of the 1980s. It's a harrowing story, very well told.
