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.

After months of waiting and the odd cryptic six-second teaser, the first full-length trailer for Game of Thrones season 5 has arrived.

It was debuted at IMAX showings of the last two episodes of season 4 in the US and was later released internationally whipping fans into a fever.

The trailer is set to a cover of David Bowie's Heroes (by The Wallflowers I think?)

Here are your ominous one-liners:

"Nothing's more hateful than failing to protect the one you love." - Cersei

"There's no justice in this world, not unless we make it. Avenge them." - Littlefinger

"I believe men of talent have a part to play in the war to come." - Varys

"I will never sit on the Iron Throne." - Tyrion

"You could help another client that steps and takes that seat." - Varys

"I'm not going to stop the wheel. I'm going to break the wheel." - Khaleesi

"That little monster's out there drawing breath." - Cersei

"I don't think I'm read for what i deserve." - Tyrion

Tyrion has grown a lustrous beard for season 5, which will see "the end of Arya" as we know her.

"We're coming to the end now, so I don’t know what they’re going to do next year. It's the end of Arya, as far as anyone knows," actress Maisie Williams told The Guardian.

Game of Thrones season 5 begins on 12 April 2015 and will adapt material from George R. R. Martin's A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons.
