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.

Sheffield International Documentary Festival

The American director Errol Morris is the international guest speaker at the festival, which takes 'authorship' as its principal theme. Scoot down to Paternoster Row for an abundance of docu-goodies from round the world.

Oct 21-27, The Showroom Sheffield (0114 275 7727)

Raindance Festival

After a slow start, the Raindance is maturing into a rather good little festival of independent and short cinema. There's a gala screening of Lloyd Kaufman's Tromeo and Juliet tomorrow night for starters.

From Oct 18, venues around London (0171-287 3833)
