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.

Disney film producers has bought the rights to do a remake of the Polish movie Kiler, which topped Poland's box office charts at the end of last year. Janusz Machulski, who wrote and directed Kiler, said Disney is paying $600,000 (pounds 375,000) to do the English-language remake.

Kiler, which translates to killer in English, was made for only 1.8 million zloty (pounds 312,500). It has sold more than 1.6 million tickets in Poland and earned 13.4 million zloty since its release in October. The film is a comedy about a kind-hearted taxi driver who is mistaken for a serial murderer.
