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.

Deconstructing Harry, Cornerhouse, Manchester (0161-228 2463) 8.15pm

Every time Woody Allen makes another movie (hardly a rare occurrence) somebody races to declare it his best ever. Pigs will develop an Air Force before everyone agrees as to which one really is his greatest. Annie Hall won awards, but surely Manhattan is better? What about Another Woman with superb Gena Rowlands? Or the joyous comedy of Manhattan Murder Mystery? In the US press, this, his latest, has been widely described as the best for some time. Here, Allen's central character is less "endearing" than usual, which will come as a relief to women in particular who balked at watching Julia Roberts fall for a man twice her age in Everyone Says I Love You. The cast list is typically eclectic: Kirstie Alley, Judy Davis, Elisabeth Shue, Stanley Tucci, Robin Williams... oh, and Demi Moore. It doesn't open until April so rush to this sneak preview.
