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 Shaw's unhinged sea dog scratching a blackboard and informing Amity folk that "I'll catch this bird for you, but it ain't gonna be easy.

Bad fish"; the desperation of a mother searching for her son on the beach; Roy Scheider's upright cop realising "You're gonna need a bigger boat". Steven Spielberg's endlessly re-watchable blockbuster (above) is jam-packed with memorable scenes and a deliciously menacing soundtrack from John Williams, but it's the chemistry between the three mismatched leads – Scheider, Shaw and Richard Dreyfuss – that seal Jaws as a masterpiece.
