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.

A pioneering 3D erotic comedy has taken the Hong Kong box office by storm, beating the first-day record set by Avatar and drawing viewers from the mainland as it considers a global release.

The $3.5m (£2m) Cantonese-language production, 3D Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy, has earned 17m Hong Kong dollars (£1.3m) since opening last week on 73 screens. Sex and Zen – a remake of a 1991 Hong Kong movie by the same name – stars Japanese porn stars Saori Hara and Yukiko Suo and Hong Kong actress Vonnie Liu.
