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.

Zac Efron ( Me and Orson Welles, High School Musical) will star in the Hollywood remake of Snabba Cash (which means "easy money"), the hit Swedish film about a money launderer.

Efron will also produce it. Based on a novel by Jens Lapidus, the thriller follows a young man who hopes to strike it rich quickly by becoming a runner for a drug dealer.

Efron is seen next in Charlie St. Cloud with Kim Basinger, directed by Burr Steers ( 17 Again) about a young man grieving the death of his brother.
