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 fourth and final installment of the Twilight Saga films, Breaking Dawn, will be directed by Bill Condon it was announced Wednesday. It is due in 2011.

Condon is the writer/director of commercial successes and independent films, from Dreamgirls to Kinsey and Gods and Monsters, which won him an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. He also scripted the film version of Chicago.

He also produced the 2009 Oscars and directed an upcoming series pilot for Showtime, a premium cable channel, called The Big C, starring Oliver Platt, Laura Linney and Precious's Gabourey Sidibe.

It is still unclear if it will be produced in two parts, like Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

The upcoming third sequel in the series, Eclipse, releases June 30, with Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, and Anna Kendrick.
