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.

Werner Herzog's enlightening documentary guides viewers through the Chauvet Cave in Southern France, which contains the oldest artwork in the world. Herzog provides a compelling account of the history of drawings created 32,000 years ago.

The pictures are awe-inspiring due to the amount of detail and the pristine condition in which they have been naturally preserved. The film gives us a fascinating insight into a forgotten time, while the lingering shots enable us to drink in the images. If art is thought to reveal what is insidethe soul, then this documentary offers a glimpse into the psyche of the primitive man.
