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.

“You have ice in your veins,” maintains Ray Liotta’s New Jersey mobster to a potential enforcer, Richard Kuklinski. Michael Shannon, probably best known for the TV series Boardwalk Empire, and perhaps the most consistently interesting US film actor working at the moment, is convincing as America’s most notorious contract killer, who played the role of an ideal family man, married to a dutiful Catholic wife (Winona Ryder, in her meatiest role for quite some time), while clinically dispatching various low-lives for a living.

We don’t learn that much about this fiend – other than that he enjoyed and excelled at killing people.
