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.

Your support makes all the difference.We entered the fourth week of the Depp v Heard trial, as actress Amber Heard took the stand to tell the court her side of the story.
She talked extensively about her troubled relationship with Depp and detailed alleged physical fights, including an alleged sexual assault on Heard during a brutal and bloody altercation in Australia in 2015.
She also testified that his jealousy forced her to give up several roles and career opportunity and in one case he even accused her of having an affair with actor and director James Franco.
