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.Dame Judi Dench added yet another award to her collection yesterday. The actress who was licensed to call James Bond "a sexist, misogynist dinosaur and a relic of the Cold War" when she played his boss in Goldeneye, was honoured for her lifetime's work at the Women in Film and Television Awards.
The 63-year-old actress (right) who plays icy spymaster M in Tomorrow Never Dies, the latest 007 film, which premiered in London last night, was awarded the Channel 4 Lifetime Achievement Award.
Earlier this year, Dame Judi made history by winning two Olivier awards in one year: best actress for her performance in Absolute Hell and best actress in a musical for her role in A Little Night Music. Last week she picked up Best Film Actress for her portrayal of Queen Victoria in Mrs Brown at the Scottish Bafta awards.
