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.

Christopher Lloyd has donned Doc Brown’s iconic lab coat once more, starring in a teaser trailer for a new Back To the Future short film celebrating the 30th anniversary of the original.

Doc emerges from the DeLorean in the brief clip before tinkering with some new drone gadgetry.

The full live-action short Doc Brown Saves The World will feature on the Back to the Future 30th Anniversary Trilogy Blu-ray & DVD, which is coming out on 21 October.

Why 21 October, 2015? Because that’s the exact date Marty McFly and Jennifer travel forward to in Part II (meaning, if it’s vision of 2015 was correct, we have less than a month to create a fully-working hoverboard).

A host of anniversary releases are being lined up, including Back to the Future: The Complete Adventures, a combo of the trilogy and animated series with Flux Capacitor packaging.

Five times Back To The Future got it right

A new documentary looking back on the franchise’s legacy, Back in Time, will also premiere on 21 October.
