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.

Carol is a primary-school teacher living in St Andrew's. David is a scaly- tub gurnard who lives in the flatfish tank at the local Sea Life Centre. They fall in love, and Carol's friend Elaine sells the story to the press. On paper, girl-meets-fish is not the most promising of plots, but from this cheesy idea Lynn Ferguson has spun 45 minutes of wry and touching drama, teasing away at the question "Can you love someone and not be like them?". Ferguson is a stand-up by trade. She proves here, though, that she's also a fine actress, playing three roles and undercutting essentially comic lines like "When he doesn't phone me, I know it's because he can't" with a profoundly stoical sadness.
