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.Dead Man (above) Jim Jarmusch's stark western is a low-key, troublesome affair about an unassuming clerk who finds himself on the run. Its funereal pace will either drive you out of your mind or you will succumb to its hypnotic rhythm.
The Crossing Guard Sean Penn's second stint as writer/director is an impressive exploration of a grief-stricken man hunting down the drunk driver who killed his daughter. Jack Nicholson is that man, rising above the vacuous dross of his recent work to give a painfully committed performance.
Nick of Time Johnny Depp once again gives his impression of a startled fawn caught in the headlights in this passable thriller. He plays a reluctant hit-man who's told to kill the Governor of California, or his daughter gets it.
