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.

What do you get if you cross a big-budget humanity-vs-aliens action movie with Groundhog Day?

Tom Cruise plays a lily-livered US Army pen-pusher who, thanks to some alien time-travel technology, gets to relive the same day, over and over again.

Until he’s developed into a hero worthy of being played by Cruise.

Edge of Tomorrow is released nationwide from Saturday 30 May
