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.

With the charm and poignancy of Julietta Mazina's performance in La Strada multiplied by five, this delightful female clown show redeems the genre from the slapstick vacuity of pratfalls and cheap circus trickery. Their faces like white cartoon doodles and all sporting crazy pigtail antennae, the troupe take us through an average day of boarding-school life, brilliantly capturing that wide-eyed, incredulous horror that accompanies seminal events in a young girl's life: falling in love; falling out with friends; worrying about the future of the planet. They all conspire to make childhood misfortune seem gloriously appealing and very, very enjoyable.
