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.

Yet another aspirational dance movie, this time from Canada, which compensates for the paltriness of its script through the verve of its cast.

Rutina Wesley plays bright high-school student Raya, returning to the crime-ridden neighbourhood where her junkie sister has recently died. Steered by a mother ambitious for her academic success, Raya is drawn instead to the sexy athleticism of "step" and the possibility of winning a major dance contest. Wesley and co-star Tre Armstrong are especially good, and the step sequences relieve the banality of the plotting.
