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.

KARA MILLER'S Tamagotchi Heaven has the most improbable of scenarios: a single young female develops a crush on her Tamagotchi pet that can only end in tears. Despite a patchy script, the multi-media visuals, together with a strong performance from Amanda Drew as the lonely Sloane, convey a plausible state of surrogate romance.

Peter Hall's staging of Major Barbara - Shaw's think-tank drama about arms and humanity - lights up the topicality of the issues without any spurious modernity. Peter Bowles (above) stars as cannon-maker Andrew Undershaft, Jemma Redgrave as his daughter, Barbara.
