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.

The trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens dropped yesterday evening following several teasers and unveiling of the official poster.

The two-minute 35-second montage is our first look at Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia, who is embraced by Harrison Ford's Han Solo as Resistance pilots head off to fight.

There are dogfights between X-Wings and TIE Fighters, along with visuals of the Millennium Falcon jumping to light speed.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens in UK cinemas on 17 December and US cinemas on 18 December.
