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.

Lars von Trier's hugely disturbing and insanely ambitious soap-from-hell (set in a chaotic Copenhagen hospital) finishes its run at the ICA next Thursday, but will doubtless be on repertory schedules for years to come. Catch it, in one four-and-a-half-hour hunk, and then sit in the pub afterwards with your jaw on the floor. ICA, London SW1 (0171-930 3647)
Trainspotting
You'll have read the book, seen the play, and perhaps even taken the drugs. But the film of Irvine Welsh's junkie bible, directed by Shallow Grave's Danny Boyle, doesn't open until 23 Feb. One thing's already certain: you need an opinion on it. This preview screening accompanies an "Independent British Film Seminar".

Clueless
Amy Heckerling's teen comedy is too wild just to take your niece and nephew to. Get drunk, go with some mates, have a ball. It's the perfect antidote to your winter blues.
