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.

Last summer if I wasn't writing about Breaking Bad I was watching it, and if I wasn't watching it I was talking about it with friends and coming up with wild theories that I'm delighted to say were nearly always wrong.

It was an all-consuming show that you looked forward to like a paycheck every Monday morning, but all too soon it was all over.

In the months that followed its brilliance has gathered a little dust thanks to our memories of it fading, but this new tribute video will remind you just what a jaw-dropping series it was.

It is the painstaking work of French filmmaker Alexandre Gasulla, who previously made a widely-shared Stanley Kubrick tribute, and very thoughtfully and artfully traces Walter White's story, hitting all the crescendos while including the little touches and nuances that made it so special.

It's eight minutes long but worth investing the time in, building to a moving climax.

Roll on, Better Call Saul.
