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.Not, alas, a biopic of the melodic Mancunian doomsters but a thumpingly earnest spy drama that shuttles between 1945 and the depths of the Cold War. Ed Stoppard plays an adopted Soviet agent operating in London at the start of the 1960s, but still haunted by the memory of the Red Army laying waste through his native Silesia in the last days of the Second World War. Writer-director Reg Traviss deals in the espionage staples of coded messages, fugitive identities and poison-tipped umbrellas, though the texture of Sixties London never progresses beyond a red telephone box and The Shadows on the soundtrack. Le Carré can rest easy.
