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.

Entertainment in Video'St Trinian's' updates the beloved boarding school film series of the 1950s and 1960s. It's got Rupert Everett in drag, and it's got Colin Firth having his leg abused – twice – by a dog named Darcy, so by

rights, it should be unwatchable. But this rude, unruly romp scrapes through its Ofsted inspection by cramming in as many jokes as it possibly can, many of which have the gothic grisliness of Ronald Searle's original cartoons. You have to award a gold star to any film which pastiches Damien Hirst by pickling a schoolgirl in a fish tank.
