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.As the weather gets worse, the likelihood of spending nights in watching TV is increasing by the day.
Luckily, thanks to Netflix, you don’t have to trawl through repeats of Only Fools and Horses and Top Gear anymore to find what you really want to watch this autumn.
Oscar-winning films Girl, Interrupted and A Separation are among Netflix’s movie highlights this month.
But if you’d rather burn the midnight oil watching a TV series, Doctor Who, Homeland and Fresh Meat have all been added to the on-demand streaming service.
Take a look at what’s new on Netflix UK in October:
