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 Nolan's Interstellar has released a new trailer, seeing Matthew McConaughey's protagonist Cooper saying an emotional goodbye to his family as he heads on a perilous mission to space.

The trailer got its debut at Comic-Con (at which McConaughey made a surprise appearance), and was released by Paramount Pictures yesterday in celebration of Nolan's birthday.

Every bit as epic as The Dark Knight and Inception (and arguably verging on overblown), it sees Cooper say goodbye to his young family as he suits up for space to help Anne Hathaway's character "save the world".

Michael Caine also features in the trailer, among an all-star cast that also includes Jessica Chastain, Casey Affleck, Wes Bentle and Matt Damon.

McConaughey's run of high quality films and TV series shows no signs of slowing down, with the Oscar winner also set to star in Gus Van Sant's next movie, Sea of Trees.
