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 Birmingham International Film and Television Festival continues with Terence Davies's The Neon Bible (19 Oct), charting a boy's adolescence in the Deep South. The first five readers to phone in and book tickets for this event will get copies of the scripts for Terence Davies's Distant Voices, Still Lives and The Long Day Closes, courtesy of Faber & Faber. Other highlights this week include Mario Van Peebles' controversial Panther (20 Oct) and the closing film of the festival is Antonia Bird's road movie Mad Love (22 Oct), starring Drew Barrymore.

Also, there are 10 pairs of two-tickets-for-the-price-of-one for Panther and the first reader to call 0121-634 4909, for either of these offers, will get a pair of free tickets for Mad Love.
