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.Most 'GoPro accidentally falls to Earth' stories end with someone finding it on their allotment six months later and returning it, filled with hours of boring footage of grass/sky, but not this one.
A camera strapped to a drone at Burning Man festival in Nevada landed directly in front of a dance stage and was picked up and passed around by revellers, capturing some unbridled hedonism.
"GoPro camera falls off a drone flying over Burning Man festival and lands in a pumping dance floor! Amazingly the camera got handed in to lost and found, and this is what was on it! How good is that!" YouTube uploader Terry Tufferson said.
There's every chance this was a set-up (and very well-executed if so) but damnit I want to believe.
Last week, Burning Man attendees shared their craziest stories from the festival, which included a man riding around the desert on acid in a firetruck that was modified to shoot flames and a woman visiting a portable toilet in the middle of nowhere that turned out to be the world's tiniest bar.
