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.

Following a warm and beautiful trailer last year, a new clip from the film Isle of Dogs has been released today, seeing two packs of dogs square off over a bag of rubbish.

Bryan Cranston is Chief, the leader of our pooch protagonists, joined by Edward Norton as Rex, Bill Murray as Boss and Jeff Goldblum as Duke.

There are definite notes of Walter White in the Breaking Bad actor's performance in the scene, Chief telling a rival dog gruffly, after biting off his ear: “Get out of here and don't come back.”

Isle of Dogs - in cinemas 30 March - has assembled a stunning voice cast which also includes Greta Gerwig, Frances McDormand, Harvey Keitel, Scarlett Johansson, Yoko Ono and Tilda Swinton.


The synopsis is as follows:

ISLE OF DOGS tells the story of Atari Kobayashi, 12-year-old ward to corrupt Mayor Kobayashi. When, by Executive Decree, all the canine pets of Megasaki City are exiled to a vast garbage-dump called Trash island, Atari sets off alone in a miniature Junior-Turbo prop and flies across the river in search of his bodyguard-dog, Spots. There, with the assistance of a pack of newly found mongrel friends, he begins and epic journey that will decide the fate and future of the entire Prefecture.
