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.

“You should learn to participate,” maintains Paul Rudd's English teacher to timid high-school freshman Charlie (Logan Lerman).

The sensitive 16-year-old slowly emerges from his shell, thanks to Ezra Miller's gay Patrick and his sassy stepsister Sam (Emma Watson, unconvincing). Over the course of a year, the three misfits bond and squabble.

This muddled teen drama, adapted from Stephen Chbosky's bestseller for young adults and set in middle-class 1990s Pittsburgh, fails to convince.
