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.

In PJ Hogan's entertaining, if throwaway, box- office smash comedy, Roberts plays a restaurant critic who realises she wants her ex (Dermot Mulroney) back the moment he announces he is getting married. So, in an attempt to make her former boyfriend and now best mate jealous, Roberts recruits her gay editor chum (Everett) as a pretend fiance.
Kenneth Branagh, currently working on a musical version of Love's Labour's Lost, stuck to acting in Oliver Parker's well-made version of Othello (8pm FilmFour). Branagh makes a fine Iago opposite Laurence Fishburne's volcanic Moor.
