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.

Mike Bassett is back in the England hot-seat.

The tactically inept manager, titular star of cult classic Mike Bassett: England Manager, is back for a sequel that should be released in early 2016.

After years in the wilderness, Bassett is called in to assist brilliant German manager Jurgen Mannstein, but when Mannstein unexpectedly quits just ahead of the World Cup, there is only one man ready for the job.

The film will be part-funded by crowd-sourcing and has so far raised £80,000 of its £250,000 target.

Donating to the project gives individuals a range of rewards, from having a thanks on the credits, to landing a role in the film as an extra or advertising your business.

The new teaser trailer has just been released...

Mike Bassett: Interim Manager is due to start filming next year, with an anticipated release of February 2016. For more information and to help fund the project CLICK HERE.
