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.

If the Chicago Cubs win the National League Division Series it will only serve as further proof to how Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale must be time-travellers.

Back in 1989, the pair released the movie Back to the Future II in which Marty McFly travels forward in time to 21 October 2015. Amazingly, they guessed whole lot right.

Now, stars Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd have been brought together - by Toyota for some reason - to discuss just what has come true in 2015.

It’s all very Seinfeld, the two of them face to face in a coffee shop while some classic old-school rock plays in the background. Best of all, the two still have an exquisite chemistry. Watch below.

“Can you believe we thought fax machines would still be around?” asks Fox, who played Marty in the original.

Hundreds of brands have piled in on the Back to the Future renaissance. Pepsi has made the film’s Pepsi Perfect, while Universal created a teaser for Jaws 19.
