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.

Wes Anderson's adaptation of Roald Dahl's children's classic is, itself, rather fantastic.

George Clooney's matter-of-fact alpha-masculinity is ideal for the voice of the daring fox, whose nocturnal raids on the farms of Boggis, Bunch and Bean bring stiff reprisals that unite the animal community. Meryl Streep adds calm and class to the long-suffering Mrs Fox. By opting for stop-motion over CGI, Anderson invests his world with a tangible and endearing quality.
