ARTS / Overheard
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.These days I can go to the theatre and see a lot of boring idiots doing Noel Coward plays and think, ahhh, that's charming.

The thing about Eastwood's image is that he is what a lot of Americans would like to perceive themselves to be, which is that they would like to be very open and fair-minded, but if it didn't go well after a while they'd shoot you.
