Your support helps us to tell the story

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 likes of Pixar etc have spoilt us for sensational animation in the past decade, so this leaden effort looks cheap by comparison; the sort of cartoon where the humans look weirdly puppet-like (young Tarzan resembles a wired Pinocchio).

It’s the familiar tropes – apes, Jane, swinging – only with an alien element and some portentous narration thrown in, too.
