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.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that brown is the new black, by which token Henry James must be the new Jane Austen. You looked at The Portrait of a Lady, you flew to The Wings of the Dove and any minute now, you'll be off to Washington Square (out soon, starring Jennifer Jason Leigh and Maggie Smith). Over a decade ago, the Merchant/Ivory team led the way with their adaptation of The Bostonians, starring Vanessa Redgrave (above) and all you trendspotters out there would be well advised to check out her latest role. I put it to you that it may soon be a case of "move over Mr. James", because Vanessa plays the title role in Mrs Dalloway, the latest screen outing for Virginia Woolf. Ms Woolf, of course, did rather well with Orlando a couple of years ago and there's plenty more where that came from. Whether as smart a screenwriter as Eileen Atkins can be prevailed upon to write more like this is anybody's guess.
