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.

It’s often said that watching TV at home doesn’t compare to watching a movie on the big screen. Sure you can prepare a bowl of popcorn and dim the lights and, these days, some screens even come close to cinema in size. However, what’s never quite the same is the quality. Until now.

What if you had the chance to watch your favourite blockbusters from the comfort of your very own living room without compromising on the picture? Well, with up to four times the detail of HD you can do just that. With Sky Q’s ultimate home entertainment system, you can watch the widest range of sports, movies, dramas and documentaries in Ultra HD including the world premiere of Spectre in clarity and detail like never before.

And what about sport? Nothing can match cheering on your team and soaking up the atmosphere in the stands, but with Ultra HD it almost feels as if you’re there. Sports customers can immerse themselves in 124 of the season’s Premier League games, live in ultra high definition.

If documentaries are more your thing, with Ultra HD you can get up close and personal with polar bears in the Arctic Circle or track chimpanzees deep in the heart of the Congo rainforest. Ultra HD with Sky Q will give you access to 30 hours of natural history with the David Attenborough catalogue and Natural Geographic programmes including new The Story Of God with Morgan Freeman – all in Ultra HD.

Drama lovers can get even nearer to the action too, with brand new shows like The Young Pope with Jude Law, a joint production between Sky, HBO and Canal+, and series four of The Blacklist. And if that’s not enough, there’s even more top-quality entertainment on offer with comedies such as Rob Brydon and Steve Coogan’s series The Trip To Spain and music from the likes of Blur live in concert.

If you love TV, you’ll love it more in Ultra HD. Watch the widest range of entertainment only with Sky Q – Ultra HD with Sky Q. To find out more visit sky.com/ultrahd
