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.

Jacob Tremblay, the adorable child of last year's Room, is set to make you weep uncontrollably once more.

He's starring in Wonder, based on R.J. Palacio's novel of the same name, which deals with the challenges faced by a young boy born with facial differences, entering into a new school after years spent in and out of hospitals.

With the help of his parents, played by Julia Roberts and Owen Wilson, he sets out to teach his classmates and teachers that he's just an ordinary kid; basically, we're dealing with some grade-A weepie material here.

Wonder is directed by Stephen Chbosky, best known for penning The New York Times bestselling novel The Perks of Being a Wallflower, alongside writing and directing the film version. He also penned the screenplay to this year's live-action Beauty and the Beast.

The film also stars Mandy Patinkin, Sonia Braga, Millie Davis, Izabela Vidovic, Danielle Rose Russell, and Alie Liebert.

Wonder hits UK cinemas 8 December.
