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.

While its thunder has been stolen by last year's Capote, Douglas McGrath's film about the writing of In Cold Blood is the better of the two. It traces exactly the same narrative arc, and arrives at the same grim terminus, yet it fields a keener sense of Capote's involvement with the killer Perry Smith and a friskier enjoyment of his feline wit.

Infamous seamlessly blends the comedy of Capote's time charming the locals in Kansas, his gossipy life in New York and the tense encounters with Perry.
