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.

Back in 1976 there was a novelty about Alan Parker's gangster musical and its cast made up of children. Time hasn't been kind: the slapstick gang violence (custard-pie splatter guns) is amusing, but the score is mediocre, the acting is poor and the underage cuteness is creepy. Jodie Foster, in the same year she starred in Taxi Driver, is an exception as the vamp Tallulah.
