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.

Disney’s Short Circuit series is nothing short of genius – giving anyone at Walt Disney Studios the platform to create their own short film.

While we love the good-old Disney classics and new favourites, including Encanto, Toy Story, Cruella and many more, the Short Circuit series gives a new take on storytelling, with six-to-seven-minute snippets of animated fun. One story, in particular, is grabbing our attention: Reflect.

Following a beautiful ballet dancer on her journey from being sad at her reflection to twirling away from the all-encompassing worry many of us have felt – and often still feel – about our appearance, the truthful tale has tugged at our heartstrings.

Animation artist Hillary Bradfield directed the delightful tale, and you may recognise her work from Frozen 2 and Encanto. Bradfield hopes the film will help people “feel more positively about themselves and how they look”, and TikTok has shown its full support with countless messages of praise applauding the film for raising awareness about self-esteem and body dysmorphia.

But where, how and how soon can you watch it? Keep reading this article to find out, as the answer may surprise you.
