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.

GOING ALL THE WAY

(15) HH

Director: Mark Pellington

Starring: Jeremy Davies, Ben Affleck, Amy Locane, Rachel Weisz, Rose McGowan

This is an occasionally moving rites-of-passage drama with committed performances from Jeremy Davies and Ben Affleck as two soldier buddies returning to their home town.

MIMIC

(15) HH

Director: Guillermo Del Toro

Starring: Mira Sorvino, Jeremy Northam, Josh Brolin

Ingenious science-fiction-horror fable from the director of the excellent vampire movie, Cronos. Mira Sorvino is a doctor who successfully combats a virus that's sweeping New York by developing a rival cockroach species to wipe out the original disease-carriers, in the process inadvertently creating a breed which can assume human form.

GIRLS' NIGHT

(15) H

Director: Nick Hurran

Starring: Julie Walters, Brenda Blethyn, Kris Kristofferson

Shameless tearjerker with Brenda Blethyn as the cancer-suffering bingo winner who jets off to Las Vegas for a last-chance holiday with her sister- in-law (Julie Walters) and meets a wrinkled rodeo-rider (Kris Kristofferson). Initially bubbly, the picture soon turns grossly manipulative.

THE WAR AT HOME

(18)

Director: Emilio Estevez

Starring: Emilio Estevez, Martin Sheen, Kathy Bates, Kimberly Williams

Adapted from James Duff's Broadway play, Homefront, The War at Home is about a traumatised Vietnam veteran on his return home to Texas and his traditional family.
