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.

Volcanic emotions spill over into the frigid arena of a 1990s London law firm in The Big Picture Company's adaptation of Lorca's Blood Wedding. Using Kathak dance and flamenco, and film projections of lush natural landscapes, the play's visceral essence is released. Juxtaposing Lorca's torrid flow with the embarrassed musings of ambitious twentysomethings is sometimes problematic but the overall impression is at once stylish and captivating.
