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.

One of the most highly acclaimed films of recent years, Paul Thomas Anderson's 'There Will Be Blood' is also one of the strangest.

The Oscar-winning Daniel Day-Lewis is larger than life as a black-hearted oil baron whose prospecting in the early 1900s brings him into conflict with Paul Dano's ambitious young minister. The stage is set for an epic battle for the soul of the West, but 'There Will Be Blood' is more eccentric and bitty than that, with very few major characters, and a structure that jumps from scene to scene without ever connecting them into a plot.
