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.

It happened to Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Fifty Shades of Grey and now, Back to the Future has been given an epic Lego makeover.

The classic Eighties sci-fi movie celebrates its 30th anniversary this year (along with EastEnders and Neighbours) and, even more excitingly, 2015 is the “future” year in which the sequel is set.

To join in with the birthday fun, London studio Macro Lego Universe has shared their impressive remake of the famous clock tower scene, when Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) and Marty McFly (Michael J Fox) use lightning to recharge his DeLorean time machine.

Director Robert Zemekis and co-writer Bob Gale are busy working on a stage adaptation of Back to the Future, expected to debut in the West End later this year.
