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.

Fresh from the festival circuit, War on Everyone - the new one from Irish director John Michael McDonagh - has a brand new trailer.

The Calvary director's new crime comedy follows two corrupt New Mexico cops who plot to frame and blackmail every criminal that comes their way.

Alexander Skarsgård and Michael Peña head up the cast alongside Theo James (Divergent), Caleb Landry Jones (X-Men: First Class) and Tessa Thompson who will also be seen in new HBO series Westworld.

Former True Blood actor Skarsgård will next be seen in The Legend of Tarzan. Peña, who also played a cop in David Ayer drama End of Watch, had a memorable supporting role in last year's Marvel film Ant-Man.

McDonagh - whose brother Martin wrote and directed In Bruges - is the man behind The Guard which paired Brendan Gleeson with Don Cheadle in 2011.

War on Everyone will be released 30 September.
