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.

Rob Roy (1995). The true story of Robert Roy MacGregor (16711734), a hero of 18th Century Scotland, whose love for one woman gave him honour, courage and, ultimately, his life. The leader and provider for the entire MacGregor clan, Rob Roy arranges to borrow money from the Marquis of Montrose to help them survive the harsh Highland winter. However, his trust in less honourable men makes him a pawn in a ruthless plot.
