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.

If you’re going through a break-up or just need cheering up this Valentine’s Day we’ve compiled a list of the best films to distract you.

Recommended watching includes a vat of ice cream and a pal in a similar frame of mind.

Eschewing obvious choices like Bridget Jones’ Diary, When Harry Met Sally and Notting Hill, this list of mostly modern flicks aims to ensure you do not feel alone in your hour of need.

Happy Valentine's Day!
