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.

Overwrought, steeped in cliché, Dan Turner's drama about a troubled young boxer nonetheless has enough raw energy to atone for its utterly derivative storyline.

Ashley "Bashy" Thomas plays Clayton, the fighter who loathes his imprisoned gangster father but can't escape the shadow the father's violent past casts over him.

Peter Mullan excels as Clayton's equally tormented trainer while Michelle Ryan brings plenty of conviction to her role as the trainer's even more tormented drug-addict daughter.
