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.

DARYL ZERO is the world's greatest private investigator - a man who can tell you what you had for breakfast and tease out your darkest secrets within minutes of meeting you. Unfortunately, he is also a recluse, who only engages with the real world when there's a case to crack. As played by Bill Pullman (left) in Zero Effect, Daryl is as charming as he is unhinged: you catch his speed-freak eyes twinkling and his mouth contorting into a lopsided smile and you know that the monster inside him is only a breath away from combusting.

Whatever you think of Apocalypse Now, it has to be experienced in a cinema before you can truly pass judgement. Coppola's bombastic, excessive, even insane excursion into "heart of darkness" territory boasts a kamikaze cast (Martin Sheen, Frederic Forrest, Robert Duvall, Marlon Brando) and moments of chilling clarity amidst the chaos.
