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.

Billed by organisers at London's Prince Charles cinema as "Glastonbury with the Movies, without the Mud", Primal Screen is a 48-hour, back-to-back, non-stop orgy of cinema kicking off this Friday evening. A paltry pounds 50 is all it costs to see the entire programme of 21 films, with free showers, unlimited coffee and pasta, and a shiatsu massage among the helpful freebies for anyone attempting to go the distance. Heavenly Creatures, The Wicker Man (right), Blood Simple and Shaft feature in a strong line-up of cultish classics, from which London Kills Me is the only notable omission. Be afraid, be very afraid.

Prince Charles Cinema, London WC1 (0171-437 7003) 18 Sept 8.30pm - 20 Sept 8.30pm. Single and multiple tickets will also be available over the weekend
