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.

Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams play a married couple with an unusual problem: he has a "genetic anomaly" which keeps yanking him into the near future or past for short periods before depositing him back in his own timestream.

Adapted from Audrey Niffenegger's bestseller, this comic romance deals playfully with the inherent paradoxes and ironies of time travel, so that when it turns into a full-on weepy about the brevity of life and the length of memory, it has, at least, earnt the right to do so.
