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.

Ben Wheatley, Britain's most intriguing director, delivers his most experimental film yet. This monochrome psychedelic horror is set during the English Civil War and is centred on a group of deserters who are captured by a sadistic alchemist.

The sicko needs the services of Reece Shearsmith's amateur alchemist to trace some “great treasure” in the countryside. After the crude group devour some magic mushrooms, matters go badly awry. Witchfinder General, David Lynch and Werner Herzog are clear influences on this very low-budget oddity.
