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 gloom

pervading our decade will only be intensified by the gradual social rehabilitation of the films of German director Rainer Werner Fassbinder. The ICA staged a substantial retrospective only recently, and now Manchester's Cornerhouse is putting on an even bigger one, aptly entitled 'Love Will Tear Us Apart'. Twenty five of the grim one's 43 films will be shown throughout September, including the 15-hour epic Berlin Alexanderplatz. The retrospective concludes with two special events: a day school and talks given by film-maker Hans- Gunther Pflaum and Juliane Lorenz, Fassbinder's editor.
