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 Indian take on Othello features modern dress but no reinterpretation of Shakespeare's tale of duplicity and sexual jealousy. Vishal Bhardwaj gets good performances from his cast, but Ajay Devgan, as the big O, looks more like a model than a soldier. Musical numbers add charm, and occasionally, the Bard's wit is nicely duplicated: "My grandma said the way to a man's heart is through his belly." "Oh? Mine always told me to aim a bit lower."
