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.

The winners of the first ever Barfta Awards (British Academy of Rubbish Films and Terrible Acting) are in.

The Barfta Academy says: “2012 was a bumper season for terrible film. In a normal year any of the nominees could have walked away with the top prize, so this years winner has proved itself to be something very special indeed. The Academy would like to salute the verve and single mindedness of all those nominated here, without whom the cinema would be a much safer place to go.

"Anyone can make Argo, it takes a rare talent to produce Keith Lemon: The Film.”
