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.

Peter Mullan scene-steals throughout Jane Campion's admirably slow-moving crime drama set in small-town New Zealand, which centres on the disappearance of 12-year-old Tui and Elizabeth Moss's damaged detective's search for her. Some of the best moments in this tense, haunting thriller are the eccentric ones that do virtually nothing to propel the plot. Holly Hunter captivates as a long-haired guru, but this is all about Moss who has been deservedly Emmy-nominated.
