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.

This revered Australian trilogy put Mel Gibson on the way to superstardom, and it's worth seeing for the excellent, bone-crunching second slice of Max from 1981. It's a futuristic actioner in which coppers and gangs fight over territory and petrol in a post-apocalyptic landscape. There's minimal dialogue here but this is all about the car chases and David Eggby's excellent cinematography. The first two films (forget the Tina Turner-starring third) are like spaghetti Westerns without the big ideas.
