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.

The Norwegian photographer Espen Rasmussen has spent the past seven years documenting refugees and displaced people in different parts of the globe, from Congo to Colombia.

His book opens with a series of pictures accompanied by diary notes which share his insights into the lives of refugees. Then, in more depth, he looks at each country in turn, showcasing his storytelling abilities.

His atmospheric images take us from a portrait of a Sudanese refugee in Darfur to a carnival in Bogota in which both local children and Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) participate.

This image shows IDPs seeking refuge in a church in the village of Rubare in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
