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.

Few bands manage to end their lives with dignity, fewer still with a triumphant four-hour show at Madison Square Garden. LCD Soundsystem was the exception, and documentary-makers Will Lovelace and Dylan Southern were there to cover the concert – and LCD frontman James Murphy, for the 48 hours either side of it – in glorious high-definition. To those of us who weren't there, this is surely the next best thing. See it on the biggest screen you can.
The Queen of Versailles (100 mins, PG)
Another hit at Sundance, The Queen of Versailles follows the super-rich Siegel family as they begin building their Florida home, America's biggest private residence. During filming, the economic crisis hit, devastating David Siegel's time-share business and halting construction of his wife Jackie's dream home. Thus Lauren Greenfield's satirical documentary became a morality tale, and a story of the American nightmare.
