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.Billy Crudup says one of the most exciting things about being a superhero in his latest film is getting his own action figure.
Billy stars as Jon Osterman/Dr Manhattan in Zack Snyder's eagerly-anticipated film Watchmen, a scietist whose atoms are smashed during a lab accident, but who reconstructs himself as a naked blue-skinned superhuman.
And the actor, who has also starred in Stage Beauty and Almost Famous, is delighted with the miniature version of his character - mainly because it doesn't resemble him. "The thing that I saw didn't look at all like me, so I thought it was perfect. He's hot, yes!" he said.
