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.

Your support makes all the difference.The creator of Channel 4’s cult hit Misfits is returning to E4 in the UK and heading to Netflix globally for a new six-part series starring Downton Abbey’s Cara Theobald and Chewing Gum’s Susan Wokoma.
E4 and Urban Myth Films will team with the streaming service for Crazy Face, the synopsis for which is as follows (as per The Hollywood Reporter):
‘A funny and gripping entry about friendship, love and facing your demons, [Crazy Face] follows the angst and exorcisms of an unlikely duo of demon hunters (played byTheobold and Wokoma).
When people die most go quietly into the night. But some have unfinished business: scores to settle. These souls work through their issues by possessing the living. Most of the time they walk freely among us, unseen by all but a special few. Amy (Theobold) is one of those few. She works in a bowling alley and never imagined herself battling the legions of hell. Enter Raquel (Wokoma), armed with Wikipedia and a baton she bought on eBay, Raquel's a self-made demon hunter with a whole lot of baggage and an impressive lack of social skills.’
Riann Steele (In the Flesh) also features as Amy’s best friend Suzanne, along with Lewis Reeves (Unforgotten), Arinze Kene (Youngers) and Tony Curran (Sons of Anarchy).
Crazy Face will be E4 exclusive in the UK - streaming globally on Netflix shortly after.
Netflix has been savvy in snapping up UK shows of late, recently striking a deal to get the BBC’s Peaky Blinders a few weeks after its TV premiere.
