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.

Netfix has unveiled a new trailer for Sir David Attenborough’s next documentary.

The streaming service purchased only one commercial during the major sporting event, which traditionally attracts millions of viewers, opting to advertise the eight-part series.

Our Planet, which will be released on 5 April, is narrated by Attenborough.

The 30-second clip released by Netflix on Sunday features several of the species that will appear in the nature documentary.

It describes the programme as “a global event that reminds us we’re all on one team”.

Netflix has previously added several of Attenborough’s BBC documentaries, including the globally acclaimed Planet Earth, to its catalogue.

Our Planet, which comes in partnership with the World Wildlife Fund, was taped across seven continents in 50 different countries.

The streaming service told Deadline it chose to debut the trailer during the Super Bowl to remind viewers that “our planet is our home and this is more than just a game.”
