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.

With The Fate of the Furious, we've come to the eighth instalment of the franchise that refuses to end and refuses ever to chill out, for even one brief second.

Which almost makes it a logical next step to see Fast & Furious Live announced, set to make you feel just a deliriously entertained and deeply confused as each of those increasingly ludicrous films have so majestically pulled off.

Starting in January 2018, the global live-arena tour promises to bring some of the franchise's most memorable stunts to life through a combination of vehicular acrobatics pulled off by precision performance drivers, blockbuster set design, and digital projections.

“Fast & Furious Live will transform the live-entertainment industry in the same way the global box-office franchise has redefined the action genre,” said Vince Klaseus, President, Universal Brand Development. “Fans will experience everything they love about the films in an up-close and incredibly cool live show, putting them in the centre of the action.”

The show is being developed by Brand Events, who were also behind the recent Top Gear Live tour; so expect this show will be a must-see both for films fans, and for petrolheads in general.

The Fate of the Furious hits UK cinemas 14 April.
