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.Oh no, it's the cycle of life, Hollywood-style. Adapted from EB White's much-loved book, this recounts the tale of a friendship between a pig and a computer-animated spider named Charlotte (voiced by Julia Roberts). To save the pig from the butcher's knife the spider spins a web of words in praise of her porky friend, and soon the farm where they live is a local legend.
Steve Buscemi, vocally typecast as the barn rat, enlivens an otherwise dreary exercise in soppy anthropomorphism. Dakota Fanning, as the cold-eyed midget who adopts the pig, is (as ever) terrifying.
