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.

If I told you Scott Pilgrim was a romantic action-comedy, based on a comic book and littered with indie rock and video games references, you probably wouldn't buy it.

But you should. It's right up there with Inception as one of the best films of last summer. Directed by Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead) and based on the graphic novel series by Bryan Lee O'Malley, the film follows Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera) in his quest to win the heart of Ramona by defeating each of her Seven Evil Exes. The film's quirkiness won't appeal to all tastes, but it's easy to find yourself sucked into its offbeat universe and kaleidoscopic visuals.
