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.

Your support makes all the difference.Guardians of the Galaxy is often heralded as Marvel Studio’s greatest film so far, often outranking the likes of The Avengers, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and Iron Man when it comes to critics’ lists.
Unsurprisingly, excitement for James Gunn’s sequel is incredibly high, with the initial teaser trailer - released alongside Doctor Strange - being viewed millions of times across the internet.
Finally, the superhero studio has offered the world a first full glance at the upcoming home, releasing a full trailer a week before the release of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (from Lucasfilm: also a Disney-owned studio).
In the two-minute clip, we are introduced to some new faces, including Pom Klementieff’s Mantis, as well as a much closer look at scene-stealer Baby Groot.
Recently, actor Chris Pratt - who plays Peter Quill, AKA Star Lord - said filming Vol. 2 helped him cope with his father's death, revealing all in a new interview.
In the sequel, Quill is set to come face-to-face with his own long-lost father: the Ego the Living Planet, as played by Kurt Russell. Despite the unreleased Comic-Con trailer revealing footage of Russell as Ego to the audience, he does not feature in the above trailer.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 hits UK cinemas 28 April 2017.
