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.

Hollywood star Kate Winslet won best international actress for her part in The Reader at Germany's most important media awards November 26.

Austrian actor Christoph Waltz, who was previously honored at this year's Cannes Film festival, was named best international actor for his portrayal of Nazi villain Hans Landa in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds.

Fashion designer Giorgio Armani won in the Creativity category, an honor he already received back in 1997. It was not the maestro himself who accepted the award in Berlin however but his niece Roberta Armani, naturally clad in her uncle's design.

Other recipients of this year's Bambi, which paid tribute to the 20th anniversary of the collapse of the Berlin Wall, included Colombian singer Shakira and the Klitschko boxing brothers.

The awards, annually presented by Hubert Burda media, honor the best in international and national music, film, television, and sports.
