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.

"Dad, you can't keep spending money on junk," Mark Wahlberg's obligatory hot daughter says in the Transformers 4: Age of Extinction trailer, advice that might have been better directed at Paramount Pictures.

This is the studio's fourth big-budget Transformers outing, and sees Michael Bay return with more robots ripping up highways as Wahlberg looks on ringing gasoline out of his t-shirt and sighing.

With the franchise having resigned Shia LaBeouf to a world of paper bags and LA art installations, the next instalment features a new-look cast.

Nicola Peltz, Jack Reynor, Kelsey Grammer, Sophia Myles and Stanley Tucci join Wahlberg, who plays an everyman dad drawn into a battle between the Autobots and Decepticons after fixing up a Transformer masquerading as a worn-out truck.

Transformers: Age of Extinction will function as a standalone from the previous three movies and is set to open in US cinemas on 27 June and UK cinemas on 10 July.
