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.

"He hurt all of us," admits Cedella, Bob Marley's daughter in this hugely reverential, not terribly balanced documentary that really needs more of Cedella's insightful revelations.

The reggae legend is also described as "very strict" and a "rough man", but Kevin Macdonald fails to explore these less attractive traits. However, Marley fans will find much to savour in the rare concert footage, old family snaps and the impressive line-up of talking heads – Ziggy and Rita Marley, Jimmy Cliff, Bunny Wailer – paying homage to the mercurial genius.
