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.

Chernobyl Diaries (83 mins, 15)

Some dumb American tourists visit an abandoned town near Chernobyl, only to find that it may not be abandoned, after all. The creator of Paranormal Activity has built a well-engineered scare machine, but it might have been nice if he'd put in some plot and characterisation to go with all the running and screaming.

Think Like a Man (122 mins, 12A)

Battle-of-the-sexes comedy set in Los Angeles. It's quite funny, despite its retrograde view of relationships.

Where Do We Go Now? (110 mins, 15)

Nadine Labaki, the Lebanese writer, director and star of Caramel, returns with a strident, uneven anti-war parable set in a half-Muslim, half-Christian mountain village.

Wagner's Dream (115 mins, U)

Solid documentary about Robert Lepage's controversially hi-tech staging of The Ring Cycle at the New York Metropolitan Opera.

The Rise And Fall of a White Collar Hooligan (85 mins, 18)

Crass Britflick in which a thuggish bloke gets involved in credit-card fraud.
