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.

Reverend Cotton Marcus, a cocky, loquacious evangelist preacher, invites a documentary team to film his "last exorcism".

He has lost faith in the demon-ridding business, and has clearly lost faith in God. He is considering going into "real estate" instead. Before he does, he wants to prove what a swindle exorcism is, so he takes the two-person documentary crew to a remote Louisianan farmhouse to debunk the whole business. Here they encounter a "possessed" 16-year-old girl, Nell (Ashley Bell), her hostile brother and their sozzled dad. Patrick Fabian excels as the minister in this effective chiller, which has clearly been influenced by The Blair Witch Project and REC.
