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.

A sensitive and keenly observed modern-day re-telling of Henry James's 1897 novel, in which a six-year-old girl (beautifully and very naturally played by young Onata Aprile) witnesses the violent collapse of her parents' marriage from the inside out, and is abandoned to the care of two hastily convened young step-parents.

Julianne Moore and Steve Coogan play the girl's compulsively awful rock-star mother and art-dealer father.
