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 US chart is bombarded with new releases. Getting Pierced a week before us, America has given Brosnan the thumbs up, sending Goldeneye to the top faster than one of those by-plane-cum-moped-cum-sports-car things that Bond nips up the shops in. It opened on 2,667 screens, 15 more than its closest rival, the Ace Ventura sequel, in which Jim Carrey reprises the role that made him a star, and takes three steps backwards in the process. It opens here on Boxing Day, while Rob Reiner's love story/ political satire The American President, with Michael Douglas as Mr Prez falling for ordinary gal Annette Bening, reaches us in a fortnight.
