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.

For a more enlightening view of Europe, try Paris, je t'aime, an anthology of 18 "little neighbourhood romances", each made by a different director and set in a different Paris arrondissement. The Coen brothers, Alexander Payne, Wes Craven and Gus Van Sant are on the directors' list, and their stars include Juliette Binoche, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Steve Buscemi, Natalie Portman and Elijah Wood. But just as a tray of canapés is never as satisfying as a meal, the bite-sized running times leave you hungry for more. Each segment either fits neatly into five minutes, in which case it seems slight and gimmicky, or else it's more substantial, and five minutes aren't enough.
