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.It’s impossible not to think highly of Portuguese painter Paula Rego after watching this compelling documentary, which offers a glimpse into an immodestly-portrayed and enigmatic artistic world; for starters, Rego is a delight to watch.
As she speaks frankly about her childhood, you become aware that she is not just a storyteller on canvas, she is unpretentious, and genuinely funny. An interesting addition is a chapter about her instantly- recognisable model, Lila Nunes. The best thing about Telling Tales is how well it captures this artist’s dynamic, vivacious work. “I could never paint still life,” she says “it just wouldn’t work.”
