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.

Shortly after debuting at Coachella Festival, Guava Island – the new film starring Donald Glover and Rihanna – has been made available to stream on Amazon Prime.

Set in Cuba, the thriller arrived on the streaming service at 8.01am UK time on Saturday (13 April).

Glover – who will headline the festival under his musical moniker Childish Gambino – said of the film: ”I’m really humbled having the opportunity to present something this timely and timeless.

“Between Rihanna and the people of Cuba, this is one of my favourite projects I’ve ever worked on.”

The trailer for Guava Island – directed by Hiro Murai and co-starring Letitia Wright and Nonso Anozie - debuted at Pharos Festival in New Zealand last year.

Murai said: “Guava Island is the end result of four incredible weeks spent in Cuba with some of the most inspiring creative talents I’ve ever met.

“Designers, performers, musicians, and filmmakers came together from all over the world to create this crazy fever dream of a production.”
