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.

THE PLAY
Dead Funny
Playwright Terry Johnson is on something of a roll with the revival of Insignificance, Hysteria coming back in November and now the return of this recent hit, with a smart new cast including the under-rated Ian Bartholomew.

THE FILM
Bullets over Broadway
Woody Allen's gorgeously coloured story of 1920s theatrical lunacy and the manipulations of the mob has dialogue to die for and a flawless cast headed by Dianne Wiesst, who won an Oscar. And about time, too.
