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.

Fox has announced international release dates for My name is Khan, India's first film that will release in around 40 countries worldwide.

The Valentine weekend in 2010 will see the film distributed by Fox Searchlight in the US and Fox Star Studios in India. Meanwhile 20th Century Fox will distribute the film in Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand and the Middle East.

The film revolves around Rizwan Khan, played by Indian star Shahrukh Khan, who gets detained in the US after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, by authorities mistaking his Asperger syndrome disability for suspicious behavior.

The film also reunites the much-loved screen couple Shahrukh Khan and Kajol, after their previous hits Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham ( Happiness and Tears) and Dilwale Dulhania le Jayenge (The big-hearted will win the bride).
