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.

Testosterone levels are cranked up to 200mph for Sam Peckinpah's road movie about macho men, with silly names (Rubber Duck, Love Machine) driving big trucks. As Not the Nine O'Clock News put it, they like trucking and they like to truck (“And if you don't like trucking tough luck”). Kris Kristofferson plays the curt trucking cowboy being pursued by Ernest Borgnine's deranged sheriff. If you pine for CB radios and unreconstructed behaviour, then hop on board for this energetic slice of cult rebellion from 1978. You copy?
