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 spring, American rock band Foo Fighters toured the US, playing in the garages of diehard fans. On August 1, the band released a 40-minute documentary of the intimate tour on YouTube.
Earlier this year, fans could enter the garage tour competition, and winners received a free concert by the band in their garages plus a chance to perform and drink beer with the famed rockers alongside 50 of their closest friends. The tour consisted of eight dates coast to coast.
Last month, Foo Fighters released the full-length documentary Back and Forth as a digital iTunes release and a DVD and Blu-ray release. The film, directed by Academy Award-winner James Moll, spans the band's 16-year career, chronicling their rise to Grammy Award-winning fame.
Fronted by Dave Grohl, Foo Fighters just scored their first number one album in the US with their latest release, Wasting Light. The album, which dropped April 11 in the UK and April 12 in the US, peaked in first place in 11 other countries, including the UK and Australia, and has been the band's most successful album to date.
