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.

Oh, no. From the ranks of the comic undead rises Robin Williams, his crinkly smile and warm heart, alas, apparently inextinguishable. He plays a soft-drinks exec who reorganises his family's holiday to Colorado, whither they will travel in a humongous RV. As his spoilt teenage daughter says, "Why not just set fire to a giant oil-field and have done with it?" Thus begins one of those old-fashioned holiday nightmares, in which raccoons terrorise the campers, the brakes give out and everyone gets covered in shit at least once. Jeff Daniels provides brief respite as a superfriendly country and western fan, but even he can't divert the film from its inevitable destination: Big Hugsville, USA.
