London 2012 opening ceremony: The dance critic's view
Your support helps us to tell the story
This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

From the frantic infected of 28 Days Later to Frankenstein, Danny Boyle knows how to tell stories with body language.
Given a cast of thousands he uses them to drive the revolutions of his bonkers vision of Britain, but also to provide human scale. Mime gestures help to drive the Industrial Revolution, nurses and patients jig and jitterbug. There's a sense of community to Boyle's clubbers, even as they form peace signs or smiley faces. The spectacle is huge, but personal, too.
