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.

THE TICHBORNE CLAIMANT (PG, 98 mins)

Director: David Yates

Starring: John Kani, Robert Pugh

The Tichborne Claimant plays out in a standard Merchant-Ivory landscape of country homes, pretty frills and sculpted social etiquette. But it's an altogether more savvy affair than the period pictures of yore. Yates's Victorian-era satire has its wily African manservant (Kani) grooming a coarse, boozy Australian (Pugh) to pass himself off as the long-lost heir to an English fortune. This is the cue for playful musing on notions of identity, all brightly conveyed by a gilt-edged cast.
