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.

The director of the Spider-Man film franchise is set to transform World of Warcraft into a movie.

Blizzard Entertainment and Legendary Pictures says Sam Raimi has signed on to direct Warcraft, a live-action film based on the popular massively multiplayer online role-playing game which allows players to become such characters as orcs, trolls, humans and dwarves.

Raimi is best known for directing The Evil Dead and Spider-Man trilogy.

He most recently wrote and directed Drag Me To Hell.
