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.

If you're a Netflix subscriber, there's lots to be excited about this year.

If House of Cards' fourth season, Daredevil's second and two new films (War Machine and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon sequel Sword of Destiny) weren't all enough, a new animated series from fantasy maestro Guillermo del Toro has just been thrown in the mixer.

Titled Trollhunters, it will tell the story of two young kids who unearth a world of trolls hidden under their town.

Director of Pan's Labyrinth and Pacific Rim, del Toro's most recent film Crimson Peak was released in cinemas last year.

The announcement of the series comes after the news that the streaming service has expanded its film and television deal with DreamWorks Animation meaning Netflix's slate will also include spin-offs to some of the studio's most successful films, namely Puss in Boots and The Croods.

Another planned project is a reimagining of beloved Eighties series Voltron following giant robots battling in a future world; whether or not Mexican filmmaker del Toro will be involved remains to be seen.
