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.France is one of the most expensive places to buy camera film, according to a survey by Business Traveller magazine, which found that a French roll would set tourists back about pounds 4.11, while Britain was next on the list, with an average of pounds 3.58.
However, if more way-out destinations are taken into account, the most expensive film is to be found in Greenland (pounds 7.16 a roll). Other pricey places are Lesotho (pounds 6.81), Iceland (pounds 6.49), Barbados (pounds 5.53) and Norway (pounds 4.99).
While film may be expensive in France, at least international phone call prices have gone down. The cost of calls from France has more than halved in the last three years, the survey found.
And those who fancy a night at the theatre will have to fork out around pounds 28 in the US, but only about pounds 10 in Mexico.
