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.

In what must be one of the least likely sequels in the history of Hollywood, a tiny independent studio is releasing a follow-up to the blockbuster film Titanic.

The studio, The Asylum, has confirmed that Titanic 2, which tells the story of a present-day ship built in the image of its namesake, is scheduled for release in August this year.

The original, which starred Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, grossed more than £1bn.

Titanic 2, which will go straight to DVD, charts the voyage of the liner as it traces the route of the original vessel which sank on its 1912 maiden voyage across the North Atlantic, with the loss of 1,503 passengers and crew.
