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.

Un Coeur en Hiver (12; Camden Plaza, Gate, Lumiere). A romantic triangle set in the music world, and exquisitely acted in Claude Sautet's delicate chamber piece.

The Quince Tree Sun (U; Renoir). Painter Antonio Lopez fights the dying of the light in Victor Erice's vibrant still-life.

Candyman (18; Odeon Mezzanine and general release). Bernard Rose's intelligent shocker about a Chicago bogeyman - more surreal than scary.

Scent of a Woman (15; Empire Leicester Sq, and gen release). Al Pacino, blind, berserk and brilliant, gives an Oscar-winning salute to pleasure.

Pandora's Box (PG; Everyman, Tues only, 3.30 & 8.50pm). Louise Brooks' as the man-devouring heroine of Pabst's 1928 erotic tragedy.
