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.

The long wait is finally over, with Zack Snyder’s Justice League now available to watch.

It’s been five years since Justice League flopped, with the film’s failure largely attributed to studio interference when Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s Joss Whedon took over directorial duties from Zack Snyder midway through production. 

Snyder, who left the project following a personal crisis, recently revealed he has still not watched the 2016 film. He said that he had been advised to “never see it” by Christopher Nolan, who served as a producer.

Owing to a fan campaign to #ReleaseTheSnyderCut, the director was given the opportunity to fulfil his vision for the movie with his own four-hour cut that was commissioned by HBO’s streaming service HBO Max.

Early reviews have been mixed. The Independent called it an “exhausting four-hour behemoth” in its two-star review, whereas The Guardian and The Times awarded the film four stars.
