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.

Adapted from a short story, but loosely, Next (96 mins, 12A) is the latest instance of Hollywood raiding the work of sci-fi writer Philip K Dick for a neat conceit for a big-budget chase movie - but jettisoning its philosophical subtext. Nicolas Cage gives another overly earnest performance as a man who can see a few minutes into the future; Julianne Moore plays the government agent who needs his help in foiling a gang of nuclear weapon-wielding terrorists.
