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.

Get... some celluloid nourishment. If you love films and you love food, then you're in for a double whammy treat. The very first London Food Film Fiesta, will be screening two premieres, A Chef In Love and Soul Food. There'll also be plenty of your foodie favourites, such as the cult classic Babette's Feast, Eat Drink, Man Woman from Taiwan, Mexico's Like Water for Chocolate and Tampopo, the Japanese noodle fetish classic. In addition to the film programme, there'll be tastings, demonstrations, a roving food poet and a Magic Lantern Show. Gordon Ramsay, Jean-Christophe Novelli and our very own Sophie Grigson will be amongst the Food Film Fiesta's celebrity chefs and you can also expect wine expert Jancis Robinson to put her nose round the door.

To 22 March, Riverside Studios, Crisp Road, Hammersmith, London W6 0171 741 2255

Take... a pair of sunglasses. Moscow's major museums, the Russian National Library and the State Museums of the Kremlin have all loaned works to the Royal Academy's `Holy Russia' exhibition and what a gorgeous experience it promises to be: 60 icons and 16 manuscripts created in the Russian capital between the 14th and 16th Centuries. Go see.
