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.

THE FIVE BEST FILMS

Belle de Jour (18; MGM Swiss Centre, Everyman until Weds). A welcome new release for Luis Bunuel's cool 1967 study of sexual fantasy. See review, main paper.

The Player (15; Odeon Leicester Sq & Kensington, Whiteleys, Screen on the Hill, MGM Chelsea). Tim Robbins excels in a brilliant bite at modern Hollywood from Robert Altman.

Casablanca (U; Plaza). Fifty years old and playing again where it belongs, up on the big screen.

Van Gogh (12; Renoir). Jacques Dutronc as the doomed painter, coolly directed by Maurice Pialat.

No End (18; Rio Cinema 071-254 6677, today only). A rare chance to see this 1984 Krzysztof Kieslowski drama, in which the hero is unfortunately dead. Gloomy but compelling.
