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.

As release schedules flex to let in summer's event movies, Robert Redford's festival carries a torch for independent film in its second London incarnation.

Hits from Salt Lake City's Sundance range from the HIV documentary Blood Brother to Lake Bell's winning feature debut In a World...; the music strand, meanwhile, reverberates to films about the Eagles, Muscle Shoals and Peaches, who will also perform.

British Sea Power are on hand to strengthen UK ties, as are homegrown offerings such as taut thriller In Fear, porn-y biopic The Look of Love and farm-set documentary heart-warmer The Moo Man, a film not likely to be confused with Iron Man 3.
