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.There are some real treats on the way from Netflix this June, and we're not just talking about the hotly-awaited third season of Orange is the New Black (although that's super exciting too).
You'll be pencilling TV chill-time into your diaries despite all the fun activities summer has to offer when you check out the list of new shows and films joining the streaming service this month.
Take a look at our pick of some of the best:
TV
Sense8 (Season 1) - 5/6
A group of people scattered across the globe must find a way to survive while being hunted by those who see their telepathic connection as a threat. New Netflix original created by hit directing duo the Wachowskis.
Hinterland (Season 1) - 16/06
Time for a sprinkling of Welsh noir. This crime thriller follows troubled DCI Tom Mathias as he sets out on the path to redemption and first aired on BBC4 last month.
Orange is the New Black (Season 3) - 12/6
Prepare for an emotional third season in Litchfield prison. Ruby Rose's new character catches Piper's eye while Alex is back behind bars. Then there's the return of Pennsatucky and the trailer suggests we're finally going to learn about Nicky's past.
Film
Wish I Was Here - 1/6

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest - 12/6

Pinocchio - 26/6
There's a live action remake of this Disney classic in the pipeline but you need to see the Oscar-winning original first. A puppet whose nose grows when he lies must prove that he has what it takes to be a human boy with the help of a cricket acting as his conscience.

Two brothers' fierce bond sees them spiral downwards from the pinnacle of professional skateboarding into the self-destructive world of drugs.
