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.

Stomp The Yard features no white faces whatsoever. Its hero is DJ (Columbus Short), the new kid at an all-black Georgia university, whose hip hop dancing skills are coveted by two rival fraternities. The girl he loves is the dean's daughter, and her boyfriend is a patrician snob, which makes the film a trashy black campus drama with all the clichés of a trashy white campus drama, except that everyone in it sure can dance. I'm not sure if that's progress or not.
