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.

The Independent is happy to launch an exclusive clip from new film Last Christmas, which is inspired by and features the music of Wham!

In the lead roles are Emilia Clarke, in her first performance following the completion of HBO series Game of Thrones, and Crazy Rich Asians star Henry Golding.

Judging by the clip, this is a festive treat that Christmas film lovers around the world will lap up.

The film follows Kate (Clarke), who works year-round as an elf in a Christmas shop, and Tom (Golding), an all-round good guy who could be the man to finally break down Kate’s barriers.

Written by Emma Thompson and Bryony Kimmings, it marks the new release from Paul Feig, whose previous work includes Bridesmaids and the controversial 2016 all-female reboot of Ghostbusters.

The Independent previously reported the film would feature a previously unreleased George Michael song, which will be included on the album the star was working on before his untimely death.

Last Christmas will be released on 8 November in the US and 15 November in the UK.
