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.Cinephiles may have found themselves facing somewhat of a conundrum: should they enjoy these days in the sun? Or retreat once more into the darkened auditorium of their local multiplex?
For any London-based film fans, thankfully that compromise doesn't need to be made, all thanks to Film4 Summer Screen at Somerset House, which returns once more for two weeks this month.
The city's largest outdoor screen will see 2,000 attendees gather for both new and classic releases, including two UK premieres.
The Wife will see Glenn Close herself introduce the first UK public screening of Björn Runge's infectious drama tracking one woman's journey of self-empowerment and discovery, breaking out from the shadows of her literary star husband (Jonathan Pryce).
Meanwhile, American Animals, the second UK premiere, sees Evan Peters and Dunkirk's Barry Keoghan star in a thrilling true-crime tale as four students come together to steal some of the world's rarest books from the special collections room of their college library.
