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.

Chart supplied by Screen International
Disney steals the number one slot with its most anodyne outing yet (above). What do you expect - the blasted thing is hogging 397 screens! But in London, its seven screens are dwarfed by To Die For's 14. There, Gus Van Sant's blunt but diverting satire easily beat Steven Seagal's blunt but diverting thriller Under Siege 2, which was a flop in the States too.
