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.

The Pulp Fiction duo of John Travolta and Uma Thurman will reunite for director Oliver Stone's next film Savages, joined by Blake Lively ( The Town), who was named one of Time's 100 Most Influential People of 2011.

The cast includes Aaron Johnson ( Kick-Ass) and Taylor Kitsch ( X-Men Origins: Wolverine), who play a pair of pot dealers who face off with a Mexican drug cartel when their girlfriend Ophelia is abducted for a ransom.

Salma Hayek ( Grown-Ups) and Benicio Del Toro ( The Wolfman) are also on board the film, according to Deadline Hollywood, as members of the cartel. Travolta plays a DEA agent and Thurman portrays Ophelia's mother.

Based on the novel by Don Winslow, the film begins production in June for a release in 2012.
