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.

Celebrities walked the red carpet at the 41st Hong Kong Film Awards on Sunday, 16 April.

Stars from Hong Kong, mainland China and overseas, were in attendance at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre in Tsim Sha Tsui.

The awards come after China fully reopened its borders with Hong Kong and Macao next week following strict Covid restrictions.

Only 33 films have been nominated for this edition of the awards after the closure of Hong Kong cinemas for four months of 2022 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Films nominated this year include The Sparring Partner, a retelling of a gruesome double murder, Table for Six, a family comedy, and The Narrow Road, which explores life in Hong Kong under lockdown.

The Sparring Partner, leading nominations in all but three categories, has become Hong Kong’s highest grossing Chinese-language film with a category III (18 and above) rating to date.
