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.

What if Peeta hadn’t been the deuteragonist in The Hunger Games series, what if it had been a slightly leavened flatbread baked from wheat flour that hailed from Mesopotamia around 2500 BC?

This is the important question a fan answered on YouTube, with a supercut of all of Katniss’s “Peeta!”/“Pita!” yells with Josh Hutchinson swapped out.

Sometimes she is having confused romantic feelings about pita. Sometimes she is scared for pita. Sometimes she is looking frantically around for pita.

One thing's for sure, the pita bread does a better job of looking inconspicuous among rocks than Peeta Mellark - still for my money the most unintentionally hilarious moment in modern cinema.
