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.Disney's animated family feature, The Princess and the Frog opens in theaters across the US on Friday, December 11, ready to leap to the top of the box office over the weekend and into the pantheon of children's classics, such as The Little Mermaid.
Also offered in 3D, this musical comedy set in New Orleans during the jazz age, is a version of the fairy tale about a human trapped inside a frog and a fateful kiss that changes everything. The movie's female protagonist, Princess Tiana, is Disney's first African-American lead animated character.
The Dixieland styled music is scored by Randy Newman and voices include Oprah Winfrey, Terrence Howard and John Goodman (http://disney.go.com/disneypictures/princessandthefrog/).
Invictus is also expected to make a strong showing. The inspiring story of how the South African President, Nelson Mandela (Morgan Freeman) and the rugby team unified the country, the film (http://invictusmovie.warnerbros.com) has star power with Matt Damon and director Clint Eastwood and a sports theme that should knock The Blind Side off the field.
