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.

John Boorman's latest should have been called 'The Dog's Breakfast'. It stars Brendan Gleeson as a Dublin property developer who spots his doppelgänger in the street. His wife (Kim Cattrall) thinks he's losing his mind, but if he does have a double, his privileged existence could be at stake. Boorman labours to cover every social issue affecting Ireland today, but his sledgehammer satire feels out of date, and his tone veers even more wildly than Gleeson and Cattrall's accents.
