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."Too many trolls are out and about," says Hans (the comedian Otto Jespersen) to three wide-eyed Norwegian students keen on filming reported bear sightings in the mountains.
The youngsters are dubious about the glum, bearded Hans, who deals in Christian-eating trolls, not bears – until they see mammoth, three-headed beasts lumbering through the deep, dark Norwegian woods. Andre Ovredal's memorable mockumentary, with its Blair Witch-style camerawork, isn't quite as enjoyable as its title suggests, but Hans and the trolls are convincing and there are a few good gags, notably Hans playing "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" to a huge troll.
