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.

Is this the UK's version of Harmony Korine? After making award-winning short films, this writer-director from Hackney, who is influenced by American indie cinema, is shooting his first feature Spaceship in September. It's about a teenager who fakes her own alien abduction. He has just been named a UK Star of Tomorrow by Screen International. The former archaeology student "wants to make films which give people the courage to love themselves in all their weirdness".
