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.

An assembly of three cinematic masterpieces – Ashes of Time, Happy Together and Chungking Express – by the acclaimed Hong Kong film-maker.

The latter's tale of two love-struck cops has become one of his most celebrated pieces, while Ashes of Time applied his visionary quality to a star-studded foray into martial arts. Happy Together is perhaps his most left-field offering, dealing as it does with the adventures of an expatriate gay couple from Hong Kong living in Buenos Aires. The only elephant in the room is why In the Mood For Love and 2046 didn't make the cut, but the director's earlier work is sure to get plugged-in audiences rushing back for more.
