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.

Rock veterans Status Quo are to enjoy a career resurgence with two feature films celebrating 50 years of heads-down boogie.

The group announced earlier this year they were starring in their own film, Bula Quo!, filmed in Fiji. A second film, a "rockumentary" called Hello Quo, will trace a half-century of "sex, drugs and rock'n'roll". It features new interviews with fans such as Queen's Brian May, Slade, Paul Weller and former ELO star Jeff Lynne.

Guitarist Rick Parfitt said: "We're excited that we've now made the leap from gold discs to the silver screen."
