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.

Did you see Love Affair, the 1994 movie starring Warren Beatty and Annette Bening? I thought not. Hardly anybody did. US box office was so bad it only made it over here on video. In fact, this all-too Nineties remake of Leo McCarey's 1939 film of the same name should have left well alone. McCarey himself had remade it in 1957 as An Affair to Remember. Even if you've never seen it, chances are that the romantics among you will have heard of it as Nora Ephron used it as a major plot idea in her equally weepie picture Sleepless in Seattle. Now, no-one would pretend that this is an "important work", but you'll need a good supply of Kleenex to get you through it as Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr fall in and out of love. Unusually, it is the woman who appears to run some of their best scenes together. McCarey let them improvise the dialogue, something Kerr was much better at than Grant.
