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.IN AMERICA everyone's talking about Rushmore, the latest film from director Wes Anderson, which has got its audience into a right old war of words. If you love it, it's a brilliant, heart-warming, quirky comedy. If you hate it, it's a monotonous, plotless waste of time. And if you're indifferent, you're not smart enough to get it. Starring Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzan and British actress Olivia Williams, Rushmore is about a high-school nerd who, along with his wealthy benefactor, falls in love with a teacher. But the plot is hardly the point. Go see it and make up your own mind - because come next week it'll be causing an uproar over here.
`Rushmore' is at selected cinemas nationwide from 20 August.
