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.

Recently I saw the musical, 'La Cage Aux Folles' at the Playhouse Theatre and was completely and utterly blown away.
Films
I went last week to see the adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's book 'The Road'. I was crying within seconds. It's a really shocking tale but at the heart of it there is an eternal hope contained in the father-son relationship that will continue to survive regardless. It was absolutely brilliant.
Television
I don't watch much TV, although I did recently record the latest series of 'Criminal Justice'. I really enjoyed the first series with Ben Whishaw.
Books
At the moment, I'm reading 'Which Lie did I tell?' by William Goldman, about being a Hollywood screenwriter. It's a very funny take on Hollywood but also incredibly real.
Music
The last gig I went to was Ray LaMontagne at the Royal Albert Hall. I also saw a funky American country singer called Jim White, from the deep south. In my dressing room when I'm getting ready I put on the Funky Meters.
Tamsin Greig is currently appearing in 'The Little Dog Laughed' at the Garrick Theatre, London, until the 10 April
