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.

Channel 4 is going back to its roots in 1998 by re-uniting its comedy stars of the Eighties in a new Comic Strip Presents while celebrating the Eighties generation of comedians in a new series.

Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders, Rik Mayall, Adrian Edmondson, Nigel Planer and Peter Richardson have been brought together by the channel in The Comic Strip Presents...Four men in a Car.

The script for the film is still in development with writers Peter Richardson and Pete Richens, but the outline plot involves four salesmen in a car are travelling to a sales conference in a car and come across some adventures.
