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.

Fourteen years on from Festen, Thomas Vinterberg returns with a parable about a nursery teacher (Mads Mikkelsen) in an apparently close-knit rural Danish community who's wrongly accused of abusing his young charges.

Mikkelsen's squirming discomfort is heart-wrenching, but as The Hunt slides from plausible, sober drama to implausible satirical comedy, it loses some of its unsettling power along the way.
