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.

To Have and Have Not (NFT)
This week, the NFT launches a "Classic Bogart" season, and there's no better place to begin than Howard Hawks' terrific wartime melodrama; it put Bogart and Bacall together for the first time.

The Philadelphia Story (Curzon Soho)
As civilised and graceful as any romantic comedy ever made, it features a once-only pairing of Cary Grant and James Stewart, who play opposite each other like two great jazzmen in a spirit of mutual regard.
3
It's a Wonderful Life (Curzon Soho)
Despite its reputation as a national treasure, Frank Capra's hymn to small-town selflessness is fraught with all kinds of contradictions and blind spots. James Stewart is magnificent in the lead role.
4
The Roaring Twenties (NFT)
Raoul Walsh's 939 gangster melodrama featuring Bogie as a tough- guy racketeer opposite James Cagney was a massive hit for Warners' and a fine swansong for the genre. Wed 6.5pm
5
The Maltese Falcon (NFT)
John Huston's superb adaptation of the Dashiell Hammett novel offered Bogart one of his signature roles as the hard-nut detective Sam Spade ("When you're slapped, you'll take it and like it"). Fri 8.45pm
