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.

Was The Shining Stanley Kubrick's coded admission that he faked footage of the Apollo Moon landings? That's just one of the interpretations of the revered horror film offered by this diverting documentary (inset image), although it's less about The Shining than about the spell that some films can cast over their viewers.
Stitches (86 mins, 18)
Ross Noble makes his movie debut as an undead clown in a low-budget Irish horror-comedy. The gross-out murders are imaginatively gruesome. It's a shame that the rest of the film is so awful.
It Always Rains on Sunday (87 mins, PG)
A splendid, melodramatic slice of East End life, made in 1947 by Robert Hamer (Kind Hearts and Coronets). There's a thriller strand which reaches a pulse-pounding climax in a railway yard, but we also get to eavesdrop on the pubs, shops, and kitchens of Bethnal Green.
