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.

Robert Pattinson stars as a penniless drifter who seduces three society beauties, Kristin Scott Thomas, Uma Thurman and Christina Ricci, in1890s Paris.

Bel Ami is the debut film of two of Britain's most acclaimed stage directors, but their shapeless Guy de Maupassant adaptation is theatrical in all the worst ways, with its poky, cheap-looking sets, and performances which are pitched at the back row of the Upper Circle.
