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.

A rare chance to see James Toback's dazzling and disturbing study of a hedonistic pianist (played by Harvey Keitel) whose sideline in debt- collecting for the mob sounds some bum notes. Screened in a double-bill with David Fincher's Seven, an astounding film, but one which can really screw up your day.
Fri only, Everyman Cinema, London NW3 (0171-435 1525)
Privilege
In the aftermath of Michael Jackson's narcissistic Brits Awards appearance, this 1967 story of a pop star (played by ex-Manfred Mann singer, Paul Jones) whose image veers toward the messianic has great resonance. If it whets your appetite, call for details of "Swinging Time?", a short course exploring the way British films of the Sixties have affected our understanding of that decade.
Sun 5pm, Cinema City, Norwich (01603-622047)
Fargo
Frances McDormand adds warmth to the Coens' cool-headed thriller.
