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.

National Cinema Day

On Sunday, to mark , you can gain admission to any cinema for just pounds 1. And if you're lucky, a screen near you will even be laying on special programmes for the day. Take the lucky people of Cambridge for instance: you get a quick skip through the decades with corresponding prices, so opting for Murnau's Sunrise will cost you 20p (it was made in the 1920s, you see) while Scorsese's Mean Streets is showing for 70p (get the picture?). Pig out.

Sun only, Cambridge Arts Cinema (01223 504444)

Secrets and Lies

Crowned with two awards from Cannes (including the Palme d'Or), Mike Leigh's most honest and compassionate film, with startling performances from Timothy Spall, Brenda Blethyn and Phyllis Logan, simply charms the socks off you.

Muppet Treasure Island

Do the kids a favour and while away a half-term afternoon with this jolly, ticklish little romp.
