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.

A Little Princess

Frances Hodgson Burnett gets the Warner Bros treatment and comes up smelling rather lovely. On general release

L'Avventura

Antonioni's cool delineation of the bourgeois void at the heart of Italy in the late Fifties. If any single film set the aesthetic tone for the European modernist cinema of the Sixties, this was it.

Mon 19-Thur 22 Feb, Cambridge Arts Cinema (01223 572929)
