Your support helps us to tell the story

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.

The debate is over after lengthy discussions. The next Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides will be shot in 3D, instead of converted after production.

With the controversy over the questionable quality of converted 3D films, such as Clash of the Titans, the studio and producer Jerry Bruckheimer ( Prince of Persia, Beverly Hills Cop, Top Gun) has chosen to shoot the film in 3D.

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides will be released June 20, 2011 starring Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow, Penelope Cruz as his love interest, Ian McShane as Blackbeard, and Geoffrey Rush.

Production begins next month in Hawaii, Great Britain, and Los Angeles. Rob Marshall ( Nine, Chicago, Memoirs of a Geisha) will direct.
