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.

A first look at Harry Potter actor Rupert Grint in the TV remake of Guy Ritchie film Snatch has been unveiled.

The project, which has been made for Sony's streaming network Crackle, was given a full season order last year; while 'carrying the spirit' of the original, it'll focus on a group of hustlers who get embroiled in the world of organised crime upon discovering a truckload of stolen gold bullion.

Grint is playing Charlie Cavendish, a 'dynamic, frustratingly chaotic and utterly posh' con man, while Dougray Scott (Fear the Walking Dead) will appear as the imprisoned Vic Hill.

British actor Ed Westwick (Gossip Girl) will return to TV screens to play nightclub owner Sonny Castillo. other cast members include Luke Pasqualino (Skins), Lucien Laviscount (Waterloo Road) and Hustle actor Marc Warren.

Post-Weasley, Grint has starred opposite Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane in Broadway production It's Only a Play. His next project - Nick Frost and Don Johnson action comedy Sick Note - will air on Sky Atlantic later this year.

The film version of Snatch stars Jason Statham and Benicio del Toro as well as Brad Pitt in the role of Irish bare-knuckle boxing champion Mickey O'Neil.

Snatch will air in the US this march - there is no current word on where UK viewers will be able to see it.
