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 new documentary series goes behind-the-scenes at frozen food giant Iceland as it deals with the fall-out from the horsemeat scandal.
Programme-makers spent a year filming in stores and in the boardroom with boss Malcolm Walker, who founded the firm more than 40 years ago.
Walker, a self-confessed "cowboy", is famous for his eccentric management style which includes visiting successful stores with a suitcase full of cash to reward staff.
He said: "I'm in love with all our customers because they give me everything I've got. They pay for my car, my house, my holidays, everything."
The three-part BBC2 series was filmed at the height of the scandal, which erupted after it emerged some frozen burgers contained horse DNA.
The publicity around the scandal saw sales of frozen burgers and ready meals fall although Iceland's sales rose.
