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.

Mortality and mawkishness fight it out in a pilgrimage movie that plays like a younger, middle-class version of Last Orders.

Benedict Cumberbatch, doomed with cancer, hits the road with meds and mates (J J Feild, Tom Burke, Adam Robertson) on a farewell trip to his favourite spot in West Wales. Carlos Catalan's wonderfully liquid photography pays the Pembrokeshire coastline its righteous due, but the blokey banter and the airing of alleged "issues" just get on your nerves. The judgment of tone is off, and the illusion that these four are best friends never remotely convinces.
