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.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum.

The win notches an early awards-season victory for one of the fall's most-talked about films. “The Brutalist," which A24 will release Dec. 20, stars Brody as László Toth, a visionary Hungarian Jewish architect who flees WWII Budapest for America.
Fresh off winning two awards at Monday evening's Gotham Awards, RaMell Ross' “Nickel Boys” picked up another pair of honors. Ross won for directing and the film's director of photography, Jomo Fray, took best cinematography honors. “Nickel Boys,” which opens next week, is shot largely from a first-person perspective in telling the story, adapted from Colson Whitehead's novel, of two Black teenagers at an abusive reform school in Jim Crow-era Florida.
The critics group, which last year awarded Martin Scorsese's “Killers of the Flower Moon” best film, will hand out awards in a ceremony on Jan. 8.
