PICK OF THE WEEK
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.

This weekend of women's film-making aims to enlighten and inspire through discussions and screenings. These include various experimental and animated programmes, as well as Darnell Martin's poignant comedy I Like it Like That, and debates on lesbian cinema and black women in film.
Sat/Sun 10.30am-5pm, Watershed Media Centre, 1 Canon's Rd, Bristol BS1 5TX (0117-925 3845)
Twelve Monkeys
Terry Gilliam's unnerving time-travel thriller doesn't hang together too well, but it remains an absorbing attempt to give 20th-century disorientation physical shape. And if that sounds too pretentious, there's always Brad Pitt rolling his eyes and flashing his behind.
On general release
My Dinner with Andre
Louis Malle's deliriously intelligent chamber piece with Wallace Shawn (author of the new play The Designated Mourner) and Andre Gregory wrestling with love and death in a hushed New York restaurant. Understated playing, stimulating conversation, great company, all surprisingly cinematic - what more could you ask for?
Sun 8.45pm, NFT SE1, London (0171-928 3232)
Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead
A handful of late-night previews of this acclaimed American independent thriller. Andy Garcia is trying to go straight but accepts one last job from The Man With The Plan (Christopher Walken). The rent-a-weirdo cast includes Christopher Lloyd, Treat Williams and Steve Buscemi.
Sat, various London venues, check local press; opens 3 May
