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.A small Scottish cinema will upstage Hollywood with a gala premiere this evening for the latest of Lord Attenborough's films.
In Love and War, starring Sandra Bullock and Chris O'Donnell, two of Hollywood's hottest properties, is to have a special screening on the island of Bute before its official premiere in London on 12 February.
Both Lord and Lady Attenborough, who have a home on the Scottish island, will attend the showing at Rothesay's 97-seat Winter Garden cinema.
The premiere was arranged to raise funds for the island's Winter Garden Trust - set up to maintain and refurbish the historic Winter Garden - of which the film-maker is patron.
The pounds 25-per-head event will consist of two screenings of the film on either side of a gala dinner hosted by the Attenboroughs, at which Lord Attenborough will discuss the film and his career.
The film is the story of the clandestine romance between Ernest Hemingway when he was a young Red Cross stretcher bearer in northern Italy during the First World War and 26-year-old Agnes von Kurowsky, who nursed him back to health after a battlefield injury.
The film will be on general release in March.
