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.

Julie Walters was feeling talkative after picking up the Richard Harris Award for outstanding contribution at the British Independent Film Awards last weekend.

From directors she’d like to work with (Woody Allen, Scorsese) to the possibility of revisiting Educating Rita, the comedy veteran took our man at the scene to one side to espouse on her current pet hate – the word “movie”. “I hate it,” she said defiantly, “and always have done.” Interestingly, Walters next project opens this week. Its name? The Harry Hill Movie.
