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.Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg are back with their latest war epic, Masters of the Air– the companion series to Band of Brothers and The Pacific.
While the duo’s previous award-winning collaborations showed the Second World War through the eyes of the United States parachute infantry in Europe and the Marines divisions in the Asia-Pacific, the latest chapter follows US airmen in the 100th Bombardment Group.
A decade in the making, the miniseries has finally taken flight, with the starry cast featuring Austin Butler, Barry Keoghan, Callum Turner and Ncuti Gatwa.
Based on Donald L Miller’s 2007 book of the same name, the series brings to life the stories of brave airmen who served during the conflict. The Bomb Group were nicknamed the “Bloody Hundredth”, owing to their harrowing experience of the war and heavy losses during missions.
The new series made its debut on Apple TV+ in January with fresh episodes landing weekly and the finale episode will be released on Friday 15 March. From how to watch it for free to the cast, keep reading for the full lowdown.
