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.

Viewers who prefer their HBO box-sets and iPLayer to the cinema might be tempted off the couch for Totally Serialized, which showcases the best in Euro-telly on the big screen.

Five days of previews include the undead drama Rebound; detective drama Jo, with Jean Reno; and murder mystery Flight of the Storks. Nathalie Baye plays power games in Spin, while grieving fans of the late Merlin will welcome Katie McGrath's return in Labyrinth.

Guests include Hugh Bonneville and Being Human boss Toby Whithouse, who will host a trio of cracking episodes from a show that thinks outside the box, Doctor Who.

You can also re-visit the Doctor at the NFT, where the show's 50th birthday celebrations include a screening of the Time Lord's first story, with a Tardis-load of guests that includes veteran co-travellers Carole Ann Ford (Susan) and William Russell (Ian).
