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.Academy award-winning director Werner Herzog's preoccupation with themes of nature, conflict and triumph in troubling conditions leads him to the Antarctic in this warm-hearted documentary.
From the original base of Edward Shackleton to the continent's caves and volcanoes, the wintry setting provides the backdrop for the stories of the denizens of the frozen South Pole. Zoologists, physicists, geologists and volcanologists provide the bulk of the entertainment, while dazzling underwater shots do the beauty. The icy tundra is the figurative counterpoint to the optimism of life at sub-zero. A well-deserved Oscar nominee.
