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.

This sequel to Night Watch is another unwieldy slab of Russian vampirism, and assumes a thorough understanding of the rules of conflict between the respective forces of light and dark. The first 10 minutes – a missing hat, the chalk of fate, an escape to "second-level gloom" – threw me completely, as did the Matrix-style philosophical guff the characters continually spout. Even during its action sequences it is slow, confusing and apparently interminable; after two and a half hours the prospect of escaping to second- or even third-level gloom looks highly attractive.
