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.

Top of the Lake season 2 has debuted a first trailer almost four years after the first instalment bowed.

Jane Campion's high-profile series sees Elisabeth Moss return as Detective Robin Griffin alongside new cast additions Nicole Kidman and Game of Thrones star Gwendoline Christie who will play Griffin's law enforcement colleague.

Holly Hunter can also be seen in the trailer, reprising her role as spiritual leader GJ.

Filming for season two - which is subtitled China Girl - took place in Sydney, Australia last year. This follow-up centres on the investigation into a body that washes up on Bondi Beach.

The drama series' first season followed Griffin's investigation into the disappearance of a pregnant 12-year-old girl. Moss won a Golden Globe for the role in 2014.

Top of the Lake season two will premiere at Cannes Film Festival which kicks off on 17 May. It is expected to air on BBC Two later this year following its launch on the Sundance Channel in the US.
