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.

You might be relying on Netflix now more than ever for new titles to watch.

With the country in partial lockdown due to the spread of coronavirus, people are on the hunt for things to occupy them – and fortunately, the streaming service has a bursting list of films and television shows being added to its library in April.

Originals wise, it’s a quieter month for returning shows, with Ricky Gervais’s After Life sitting top of the heap. But, just like with Cheer and Tiger King, it’s the documentaries– including Brew Brothers and The Innocence Files – that could prove to be your next binge watches.

When it comes to the licenced content, though, Netflix has you sorted. Among the many things joining this month are the remaining Studio Ghibli films that haven’t yet been added, all six seasons of Community and Will Ferrell comedy Blades of Glory.

Find a full list of everything being added to Netflix in the UK in April below – find the US list here.
