PICK OF THE WEEK
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 usual mixture of premieres, previews, tributes and revivals, opening with Jacques Audiard's hugely acclaimed A Self-Made Hero, which stars Mathieu Kassovitz (who directed last year's scorching La Haine) as a man who joins the French Resistance nine months after the Allied liberation of Paris. Also this week: the film of Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach (below); Dead Presidents, the Hughes Brothers' follow-up to Menace II Society; and Don't Forget You're Going to Die, Xavier Beauvois's story of an arts student who feigns illness, then discovers that he is HIV-positive.
