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.

A real one-off: two highly experimental and erudite film-makers who have recently been accorded major recognition are taking part in a discussion with David Sinclair, the ICA's director of cinema, about the relationship between painting and film. Cairo-born, Canadian-raised and of Armenian descent, Atom Egoyan has produced consistently innovative work since 1984's Next of Kin. He is probably best known for The Adjuster (1991), Exotica (1994) and last year's Academy Award-nominated The Sweet Hereafter - keyhole surgery-like examinations of the intimate structures that bind together families, lovers and small communities. He is currently directing the first full-scale opera by Gavin Bryars to be staged in the UK, Dr Ox's Experiment, which is based on a short story by Jules Verne and opens at the ENO on 15 June. Derek Jarman protege John Maybury is director of Love is the Devil, the controversial Francis Bacon biopic starring Derek Jacobi. Cancel all other appointments.
