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.A new trailer for sequel Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again is here to rock - that's if fans can get over the shock the very first glimpse of the film brought.
Is Meryl Streep's Donna dead? Streep's been confirmed to return and there are a few new glimpses of her in the trailer, yet she's curiously absent from any major ensemble scene in the trailer.
Why is she not there to serenade alongside her pals Rosie (Julie Walters) and Tanya (Christine Baranski)? Why is she not there to celebrate her daughter Sophie (Amanda Seyfried)'s pregnancy? Or there to greet the three possible grandads: Sam (Pierce Brosnan), Harry (Colin Firth), and Bill (Stellan Skarsgård)?
Why is she not one of the shocked crowd reacting to the grand entrance of her own mother, Ruby Sheridan (Cher)? Surely there's only one (tragic) answer to these questions?
Indeed, Donna's untimely passing also fits with the rest of the film's storyline, as Sophie reflects back on her own mother's journey of discovery on the Greek island of Kalokairi, with Lily James stepping into to play a young Donna.
We'll learn more when Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again hits UK cinemas on 20 July.
