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.NEXT MONTH in London an as yet unnamed film goes into production. My spies tell me that the dollars 3m effort, being made by a company called Time Dial, bears an uncanny resemblance to the Roberto Calvi-Banco Ambrosiano story.
'Well, er. . ., how did you hear about the film? We haven't told anyone,' says its producer, Matthew Vaughn.
Apparently it is about a homeless person who is chased around London after having witnessed a murder.
'So is it about Calvi?' I ask.
'Well, let's just say that the scriptwriter may have been influenced by the Calvi affair,' says Vaughn, cryptically.
The film, which will star Michael Gambon and Rupert Graves, is set for release halfway through next year.
