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.Recent films such as Seven Years in Tibet and Martin Scorsese's Kundun have brought the plight of the Dalai Lama and his fellow Tibetans to a new, far wider audience. Having escaped from his homeland and Chinese aggression during the Lhasa uprising in 1959, the 14th Dalai Lama has since lived in India, and many of his devotees have made the difficult trek over the Himalayas after him. English photographer Neil Bailey recently visited Tibetan refugee camps in West Bengal and was invited to stay and record what he saw. The resulting images (right) are now on show at the Association of Photographers, with proceeds going to a refugee centre in Darjeeling.
