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.

Fortunes of War (15). Age has notwithered this 1987 BBC series of Olivia Manning's Balkan and Levant Trilogies. Branagh and Thompson first met as the newly-married Pringles, who arrive in Romania as Germany invades Poland. Branagh's lecturer Guy, with his precocious pomposity and nave idealism, is a kind of holy fool. Thompson's Harriet is a proto-feminist blue stocking. They've never been better, both wonderfully funny, as is Ronald Pickup's sponging Irish- Russian aristocrat, Prince Yakimov.
A Bronx Tale (18). Robert De Niro's likeable, competent directing debut, an account of a boy's rites of passage in a gangsterish Italian neighbourhood. De Niro, incongruously, plays the lad's dopey dad, a bus-driver.
Mr Wonderful (PG). Dull romantic comedy with Matt Dillon as the working-class guy who discovers education is an aphrodisiac.
OUT NOW: THE FIVE BEST TAPES
Laura (PG). Preminger's noir classic of unrequited love.
Citizen Kane (U). Welles's legendary study of American legend-making.
TheAge of Innocence (U). Scorsese's gorgeous take on Wharton's tale of suffocation.
Le Jour se leve (PG). Carne's poetic melodrama with Gabin as the man driven to murder.
The Piano (15). Jane Campion's majestic, wrenching romantic epic. Quentin Curtis
