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.

Kate Beckinsale is revelling in the success of her new film, Shooting Fish.

Premiered this week at the Odeon West End in Leicester Square, London, the film is garnering good reviews, despite having been rejected by two television companies. Eventually it was made with the help of a pounds 1m lottery grant. Asked if she thinks the part lottery-funded movie will be a hit, the actress said: "I don't know if people will like this, but we had a great time making it." Beckinsale is currently filming Broke Down Palace in New York, about two girls imprisoned in Thailand for heroin smuggling.

Ms Beckinsale left the gala first-night after leaving her mark in plaster for Leicester Square's pavement handprint display. She follows an illustrious line of actors there, including Arnold Schwarzenegger and Michael Caine.
