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.Sofia Coppola is well known for the opening scenes of her films. Who can forget Scarlett Johansson's knicker-clad derrière that marked the beginning of Lost In Translation? Or Stephen Dorff driving round and round and round the race track at the start of Somewhere?
For her upcoming film, The Bling Ring, which is based on the true story of fame-obsessed teenagers who robbed the homes of Hollywood celebrities, Coppola is said to kick it off with a tweet taken from Nicole Richie's Twitter feed.
No word yet on which pearl of wisdom Coppola has gone for but there's plenty to pick from: "My vintage tee smells of vomit", "What the hell is Tuesday?", or our favourite, "Thinking just hurts too much." Poetic stuff, that.
