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.

Warner Bros has released the trailer for the new film Man of Steel.

The film, from The Dark Knight Rises director Christopher Nolan, stars British actor Henry Cavill as Superman.

Cavill plays Clark Kent, a young journalist who is forced to confront his extra-terrestrial heritage when Earth is invaded by members of his race.

The trailer begins with Superman’s father (Russell Crowe) as he sends young Clark Kent down to earth.

It follows his journey from boy to Superman, with the voiceover: “What if a child dreamed of becoming something greater than society had intended?”

The film promises to be action-packed and full of tension as General Zod (Michael Shannon) demands Superman’s return after his army invades earth.
