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.The first trailer for Machine Gun Preacher, a biopic about a drug dealing biker-turned-missionary played by Gerard Butler ( Law Abiding Citizen, 300), was released August 18.
Based on the true story of a former criminal, Sam Childers is shown as he turns his life around and travels to the Sudan on a crusade to help refugees and rescue orphans.
Yet the transformation from bad guy to savior relies on his violent background as he does battle against the militia that kidnaps children to become soldiers - ignoring the warnings of fellow aid workers.
Directed by Marc Forster ( Quantum of Solace, Monster's Ball), this action drama also costars Michelle Monaghan ( Source Code) and Michael Shannon ( Revolutionary Road).
Scheduled to premiere next month at the Toronto International Film Festival, Machine Gun Preacher will be released on September 23 in North America and in the UK on November 18.
