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 slice of community spirit whimsy from Ealing centres on a proposed closure of the train line linking Titfield to Mallingford.
A group of plucky local villagers (including George Relph and John Gregson) won't stand for it, so they bid to run the line themselves. There's the usual blend of gentle farce and low-level criminality in this attractive comedy from 1952, which lacks the bite (and Alec Guinness) of The Lavender Hill Mob and The Ladykillers but does benefit from the endearing Stanley Holloway.
