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.

Tower Block (90 mins, 15)

Just as a London council block is due to be demolished, its remaining residents (including Sheridan Smith and Russell Tovey) are trapped on the top floor by a sniper who picks them off when they go anywhere near a window. A tense little B-movie with jump-out-of-your-seat moments.

Hysteria (99 mins, 15)

Someone, evidently, thought that a romcom about the invention of the vibrator would be a great idea, so here we have Hugh Dancy as a Victorian doctor who offers mechanical assistance to women suffering from "hysteria". The stuff about "satisfactory paroxysms" is far less embarrassing than the subplot in which Maggie Gyllenhaal's suffragette helps the needy in an East End refuge.
