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.

Out of Sight (15)

This tale of love on opposite sides of the law knocks spots off every previous Elmore Leonard adaptation, and boasts in George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez the swooniest romantic pairing of the cinematic year.

Antz (PG)

This computer-animated comedy (right), voiced by a stellar cast, stars Woody Allen as worker ant "Z", who becomes an unlikely opponent of the colony's totalitarian regime when he falls in with Princess Bakla (Sharon Stone).

My Name is Joe (15)

This solid social-realist drama contains all that one would expect from a Ken Loach film - humour, indignation, emotional sympathy - driven by Peter Mullan's intense performance as a recovering alcoholic.
