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.

The Alan Partridge Movie has been seven years in the making, but we didn't dare believe it would ever become a reality until today - the films first trailer has just been released. The movie itself will be out August 7th this year.

The Partridge cast and crew include some of the most talented names in British comedy: Armando Iannucci co-writes, Father Ted's Declan Lowney will direct and of course Steve Coogan will return as the nation's favourite socially awkward radio DJ.

The translation of brilliant British sit coms to the big screen is notoriously precarious. Judging by the trailer, will The Alan Partridge Movie will be a Borat-style hit? Or an Are You Being Served-style disaster? (Personal favourite mooted title: 'Chap of Iron')
