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.Britain's Got Talent winners Ashleigh Butler and her performing dog Pudsey are heading for the big screen in a film about their rise to success.
The pair, who appeared at the National Television Awards last night, won the ITV talent show last year.
They charmed viewers with their fast-footed routine to the Mission Impossible theme to take home the £500,000 prize.
Their manager Jonathan Shalit said: "The British people love Pudsey. He has met the Queen and was invited to 10 Downing Street by the Prime Minister. This represents a hugely exciting next step."
Pudsey, a bichon frise-border collie-Chinese crested cross, has already starred on US television and released an autobiography.
Filming on Pudsey The Movie starts this year and it is expected to be in cinemas in time for Christmas.
It is being made by Vertigo Films with Britain's Got Talent supremo Simon Cowell's Syco Entertainment.
A film about the show's first winner, singer Paul Potts, called One Chance and starring James Corden in the lead role is currently being made.
