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.

I Think I Do, NFT, London SE1 (0171-633 0274) 6.30pm

In the beginning (or the Thirties, at any rate) there was screwball. Witty Hollywood fictions of sexual friction crammed with sure-fire dialogue delivered at a hundred miles an hour by sparring partners of the calibre of Barbara Stanwyck and Henry Fonda, saucer-eyed Claudette Colbert and dishy Joel McCrea, or Cary Grant and just about everyone you can think of. Sex comedies of the Sixties and beyond showed more and said far less, and it's been a long while since anything appeared to touch them. All the more reason to catch this preview screening of Brian Sloan's comedy I Think I Do, which was such a hit at the Berlin Film Festival that it has been squeezed into London's Lesbian and Gay Film Festival. Alexis Arquette plays the bride's best friend and "maid of honour" at a wedding which kindles a few too many old flames and ignites new ones among a sextet of old college friends. There's another screening tomorrow at 4pm.
