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.

Gerard Butler's agent is tormented by the time he couldn't save the president's wife (poor Ashley Judd) from plummeting down a ravine.

Years on, demoted, he gets to redeem himself when North Koreans (previously the Chinese but that wouldn't play well in Shanghai) invade the White House.

A host of decent actors – Morgan Freeman, Melissa Leo, Aaron Eckhart – appear bored in this dim actioner, which unleashes, without any humour, lines like, "Mustang, this is Big Top bringing out the full package..."
