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.

Mamma Mia is 2008's biggest hit at the British box office, due largely to the singalong nights attended by women of a certain age. I'm sure those same women will make it 2008's biggest Christmas DVD, too.

Is it worth mentioning that the Abba songs don't fit the story, or that it's neither as witty nor as romantic as 'Muriel's Wedding', or that Meryl Streep and co belt out their numbers as if they're joining in at home after an evening on the ouzo? Probably not.
