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.Babe A delightfully dotty children's adventure about Babe (right), a pig who thinks he's a sheepdog. Expertly integrating puppetry, animatronics and human actors, it's the best family film of the season.
Sister My Sister A chilly mood piece about two incestuous maids (Joely Richardson and the superb Jodhi May) in 1930s France who decide to do away with their wealthy employer, Julie Walters. Director Nancy Meckler frames the scenes as though arranging bodies on the slab, but there are glowing embers within these actresses which light the way through murky territory.
The Santa Clause I loathed Home Improvement too but when you see that dull sitcom's Tim Allen on the big screen, you know that's where he belongs. The plot is a spaghetti junction of twisted logic in which Allen dons a Santa Claus suit and finds himself sprouting silver whiskers and a beer belly. Against the odds, this looks like the Christmas comedy.
