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 Marek Kanievska's well-observed film adaptation of the hit stage-play by Julian Mitchell, Everett is excellent as a figure based on the spy Guy Burgess. Holed up in a Moscow flat, he reveals to a journalist how homosexuality and bullying at English public school in the 1930s eventually caused his disillusionment with society and his defection to Russia.
The talented and beautiful Michelle Pfeiffer (right) falls exactly into the category of Femmes Fatales (1pm Sky Moviemax). Her delicate allure in movies such as Married to the Mob, Frankie and Johnny and Dangerous Liaisons is examined in this profile.
