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.

Like London 2012, history is proving a central theme to the Rio ceremony. First a brief performance representing the country's prehistoric evolution gets underway, charting the lives and discoveries of the region's cavemen (is it politically correct to call them that...?) before zipping forward in time to the 20th century. That's some leap to make but who am I to judge. It's all impressive stuff so far to be fair.
