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.

Admittedly, his three young charges – a Little Miss Sunshine, a Salvadorean firestarter, a pill-popping worrywart – are no picnic, while the director, David Gordon Green (Pineapple Express), has the uphill task of persuading us they're fun-size charmers. The screenwriters seem to free-associate with the storyline, mixing drug-dealers and bomb-makers with bar-mitzvahs and burglaries; whenever the momentum looks about to fail they simply reintroduce characters at random, and the film putters on its way again. Hill isn't bad, but he must be getting bored with repeating himself.
