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.

El Bulli: Cooking In Progress (108 mins, 12A)

Uninformative documentary about the legendary restaurant. We watch as chefs develop their revolutionary creations, but we don't learn who they are, or what drives them.

The Man Inside (100 mins, 15)

With more traumas than a year of EastEnders, this dispiriting Britflick features an aspiring boxer, Ashley Thomas, who fears he has inherited his father's criminal tendencies.

Red Desert (117 mins, 12A)

A re-issue of Antonioni's 1964 film, in which Monica Vitti loses her marbles in a hellishly industrialised Italian port, while Richard Harris stands around looking extremely un-Italian.

Woman In A Dressing Gown (93 mins, PG)

Another re-issue, this sensitive adultery drama from 1957 stars Yvonne Mitchell as a manic housewife, Anthony Quayle as her husband, and Sylvia Syms as his mistress. Recommended.
