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.THANKS TO the huge success of the Three Tenors concerts and the version of "Nessun Dorma" that was used during Italia 90, Luciano Pavarotti (right) is one of the few figures from opera who is known by people throughout the world who have no interest in classical music. In Luciano Pavarotti in Aida (2pm & 8pm Performance), he plays the Eygptian general Radames in this San Francisco Opera production of Verdi's tale of grand passion.
Cult director Robert Rodriguez allegedly made El Mariachi for $7000 in 1993. Two years later, he secured a whopping great Hollywood budget to remake it as Desperado (10pm FilmFour). Antonio Banderas, who on the back of The Mask of Zorro has become a major player, stars as the mysterious lone gunman bent on revenge in a dusty Mexican bordertown.
