Film: Fan Facts
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.

Wood by name... Harrelson's love of trees knows no bounds. Having created a massive traffic jam on San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge while unfurling an anti-logging banner last November, Harrelson admitted to public nuisance and trespassing offences. The punishment? A three-day camping trip with 20 deprived children.
White men can't hemp: Two years ago, Harrelson was arrested in another high-profile protest. In front of a specially invited press-pack, the 36-year-old vegan planted four hemp seeds in defiance of a Kentucky state ban on the plant which forbids the cultivation of hemp for any purpose.//
The People Vs. Woody Harrelson: The young Harrelson was no stranger to the long arm of the law: "Violence was almost an aphrodisiac for me." His youthful aberrations led to him spending a period in a school for troubled children. At least Harrelson managed to avoid being dragged down by his father - Charles Voyde was a hit man sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of a judge.
Natural Born Lover: Harrelson believes himself to be a sex addict. With one marriage behind him - to Neil Simon's daughter - he has been romantically linked to Glenn Close, Brooke Shields and Moon Unit Zappa (to name but a few) before his marriage this year to long-term girlfriend Laura Louie.
