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.Nineteen films in the James Bond film franchise are currently available to watch for free on YouTube.
The offer is available exclusively to viewers in the US, although people from the UK are able to access the US version of the site using a VPN.
YouTube has reportedly struck a deal with MGM, the studio behind most entries in the classic spy franchise, in order to facilitate the free streaming.
The films can be found in the “Free to Watch” section of YouTube. While the films will not require any payment, they do feature video advertisements.
Among the films listed in the “Free to Watch” section are early entries starring Sean Connery, including Dr No and Goldfinger, and more recent fare starring Pierce Brosnan, such as Goldeneye and Die Another Day.
The collection does not include films from Daniel Craig’s tenure as 007 – so anything from Casino Royale onwards is nowhere to be found.
It’s also not been confirmed how long the catalogue will remain in YouTube’s “Free to Watch” section, so viewers hungry for a Bond fix are advised to get watching ASAP.
The latest film in the franchise, No Time to Die, is currently due to be released in cinemas on 2 April 2021, having been twice pushed back from April and November 2020 as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
