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.Paul Robeson is at his charismatic best in this 1940s Ealing classic.
The actor/singer/political activist plays a man who braves an alien culture, a small coal-mining community in South Wales, to forge a kinship that transcends race and nationality amid the Depression. While his fellow actors can't match Robeson's brilliance, a spine-tingling rendition of "Deep River" lifts the pervasive sense of gloom – and, like Robeson himself, offers hope in the shape of indomitable spirit.
