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.

Soon to be seen together in Iron Man 2, Scarlett Johansson ( Vicky Cristina Barcelona) and Sam Rockwell ( Moon, Frost/Nixon) will star in Lunatic at Large, an unearthed project from the estate of  the legendary Stanley Kubrick.

In 1999, among the late director's belongings, his son-in-law Philip Hobbs, discovered an 80-page film treatment by Jim Thompson, which Kubrick had commissioned in the 1950s. Thompson, the author of The Grifters, The Killer Inside Me, and Kubrick's The Killing, died in 1977.

The mystery, set in New York in 1956, tells about an ex-carnival worker and a barfly he picks up for a secluded romantic interlude when a series of strange events occur.
