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.

In this forgettable remake of the British comedy, Jon Heder waters down his geek persona from Napoleon Dynamite to play a shy New York traffic warden. And Billy Bob Thornton waters down his sleazebag persona from Bad Santa to play the teacher of an assertiveness night-class. For just $5000 dollars, he'll tutor his lowly students to lie, cheat and fight their way to the top. It's funny at first, but then loses its way so badly that it somehow winds up as a high-tech espionage thriller.
