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.

It was inevitable, really. Tech giant Apple and its Apple TV+ streaming service has emerged as the definitive home for the best original science fiction shows around, and its sci-fi catalogue has just got bigger with the launch of Constellation.

Home to everything from SeveranceFoundation and Silo to Hello Tomorrow!See and For All MankindConstellation is Apple’s next big spacey psychological thriller.

The show stars Noomi Rapace (The Girl with the Dragon TattooWhat Happened to Monday) as Jo, an astronaut who has returned to Earth after things have gone wrong in space, only to realise there are things missing from her life. It also stars Emmy Award nominee Jonathan Banks (Breaking BadBetter Call Saul).

A cerebral look at humanity, Apple says that “the action-packed space adventure is an exploration of the dark edges of human psychology, and one woman’s desperate quest to expose the truth about the hidden history of space travel and recover all that she has lost”.
