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.

Julian Gilbey, whose previous efforts were the brutal and rather unpleasant Rise of the Footsoldier and Rollin' with the Nines, directs this effective and grisly British thriller.

Five mountaineers, including Melissa George's hard-nut, are tackling the Highlands when they unearth Anna, a six-year-old Eastern European girl who has been buried alive in a remote forest. She is, clearly, a kidnap victim and her discovery by these five innocents is the cue for a lot of hoarse-sounding heavies to turn up and shoot people. This po-faced feature, nicely photographed by Ali Asad, is slightly let down by its silly shoot-off finale (at a creepy Pagan festival), but it's always watchable.
