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.

The first trailer has been released for a documentary about 'the lost year' in the life of Joaquin Phoenix, filmed by actor Casey Affleck in his directorial debut.

The footage offers a visual collection of images from the film with a voiceover describing a lyrical philosophy about the journey Phoenix traveled in 2008. After his performance in the film Two Lovers, he announced his decision to quit acting and launch a rap career - unsuccessfully.

Affleck, who is Phoenix's brother-in-law, explores the apparent reinvention of the actor or his breakdown, following antics from cocaine use to prostitution.

The question of whether this film is a mockumentary and Borat-like hoax or if the film explains what happened during this period will bring fans and the curious to the cinema.

It is scheduled for a US release September 10, followed by video-on-demand availability September 24.
