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.

Matthew McConaughey gets a bald head and a belly in upcoming film Gold - the trailer for which you can watch above exclusively.

The film - billed as 'a crime adventure' - comes from the Oscar-winning writer-director Stephen Gaghan (Traffic) and follows an unlucky businessman who teams up with a geologist (Édgar Ramírez) to find gold in the uncharted jungles of Indonesia.

Starring alongside McConaughey and Ramírez is Bryce Dallas Howard - who recently starred in an episode of Black Mirror - as well as Corey Stoll and Toby Kebbell.

The film was devised as a treasure hunt film in the same vein as John Huston classic The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948) and went through filmmakers Paul Haggis (Crash) and Michael Mann (Heat) before landing at Gaghan's feet.

Feast your eyes on the exclusive poster below.

Now all we're hoping for is some kind of inclusion of Spandau Ballet in the finished film.

Gold is released in the UK 3 February 2017.
