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.This high-concept supernova begins with a news report that one Dr Krippin has found a cure for cancer. Only it's not, it's a deadly virus that has destroyed the entire human race, bar one man, an army scientist named Robert Neville (Will Smith). There are two remarkable things about this blockbuster.
The first is its bravura picture of New York the shots of a deserted Times Square and Fifth Avenue are amazingly eerie. The second is its portrait of isolation: it's not just that Neville, three years alone, is going nuts, but that Will Smith occupies a full hour's screentime on his own. It's bold, and successfully maintains suspense.
