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.

The puzzle of Juan Carlos Fresnadillo's film is how its dual stories will link up. The first, in Madrid, concerns the nightmares of a young boy (Izá* Corchero), who fears being snatched away by a hooded intruder he calls Hollowface. The second, in London, concerns a young girl (Ella Purnell) who appears to be plagued by exactly the same visions, much to the dismay of her father (Clive Owen). Intruders taps into primal fears of both parents (how do I protect my child?) and children (what horror lurks under the bed?), but its impact is somewhat muffled by the wavering between these two poles. The scares just aren't that scary, and Owen merely reprises his impersonation of a man in the throes of a catastrophic breakdown.
