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.

With The LEGO Batman Movie currently receiving a warm reception by critics, thanks to its irreverent spin on the Dark Knight's mythology, it's inevitable the toy company would want another little piece of the action.

Cue The LEGO Ninjago Movie, based off the TV series launched in 2011, which spawned six series and an expansive merchandise range, while becoming a key part of the LEGO brand itself.

Most enticing for those unaware of Ninjago's history will likely be the involvement of screen legend Jackie Chan, here voicing kung fu master Sensei Wu.

He'll be leading a group of six ninjas - voiced by Dave Franco, Michael Peña, Fred Armisen, Kumail Nanjiani, Zach Woods and Abbi Jacobson - all LEGO Master Builders, as they attempt to defeat evil warlord Garmadon, the Worst Guy Ever.

Garmadon (Justin Theroux) also happens to be one of the ninja's dads, Franco's Lloyd; leading to an epic showdown between father and son, and a battle which can only be won if the ninjas learn to put their egos aside and pull together to unleash their true capabilities.


The LEGO Ninjago Movie hits UK cinemas 13 October.
