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.As sure as the summer months are rolling on, Netflix is dealing out fresh titles for your viewing pleasure.
After an initial glance over the list of new titles being added to the streaming service this month, a few choice additions stand out - namely The Defenders, the long-awaited union of its four Marvel superheroes, and the eagerly-anticipated reunion of those Wet Hot American Summer campmates.
Another key addition is sci-fi thriller What Happened to Monday starring Noomi Rapace as not one, not two but seven (yes, seven) sisters who live a cat-and-mouse existence pretending to be one person in a dystopian world plagued with overpopulation. Glenn Close and Willem Dafoe also star.
Dafoe also stars in the film adaptation of Japanese manga series Death Note which arrives under the guidance of Blair Witch director Adam Wingard. He voices Ryuk, the demonic creator of the titular book that grants a young man (Nat Wolff) the power to kill anyone by simply writing down their name.
