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.

I love 'The Simpsons' and 'Futurama'. 'Family Guy' is great in its irreverence and 'South Park' in recent series has had some of the most incisive and relevant social commentary on television. Speaking of social commentary, though, nothing beats Charlie Brooker's 'Screenwipe' and 'Newswipe' programmes.
Films
To my surprise, I really enjoyed 'Watchmen'. At times it surpassed the graphic novel. I also can't wait to see 'Brüno'.
Books
I'm halfway through 'Bad Science' by Ben Goldacre. It's about debunking popular 'medical' myths that have no basis in actual science.
Theatre
I saw 'England People Very Nice' by Richard Bean and Shakespeare's 'All's Well That Ends Well' at the National. It's not easy to stage plays on a scale as large as that but the National manages to pull it off with apparent ease and incredible flair.
Music
I'm still enjoying Kings of Leon's 'Only by the Night'. The Killers and Elbow are current favourites, too, and of course being from Manchester I'm obliged by law to mention Oasis.
Ralf Little stars in 'Telstar', out now
