Your support helps us to tell the story

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.

A change of pace between Guardians of the Galaxy Volumes 1 and 2, James Gunn has written and produced a horror thriller set in a drab office.

He unveiled the first trailer for The Belko Experiment in LA on Wednesday night, which sees 83 workers trapped in a high-rise office and told by a mysterious voice over the tannoy that they must kill three of their own else six will be executed.

It transpires that each employee was chipped when they started working there, and that chip - lodged in their head - can be remotely detonated.

Things only get worse, with the voice later telling them they must kill 30 or 60 will die, and it basically looks to be an exploration of the trolley problem.

Greg McLean (Wolf Creek) directed The Belko Experiment, which stars John Gallagher Jr., Tony Goldwyn, Michael Rooker, Sean Gunn, Adria Arjona, John C. McGinley and Melonie Diaz.

It’ll be out in cinemas 17 March, 2017.
