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.Animated behaviour is breaking out all over the country. While, the 4th Bradford Animation Festival (BAF!) gets underway this weekend, on Tuesday, a new exhibition at the Museum of the Moving Image, provides an exclusive preview of Gerald Scarfe's designs and art direction for Hercules, the new major animated feature from Disney, which goes on release from 10 Oct.
This year, BAF! is adopting a global perspective and includes new work from Canada and the US. Other highlights include tomorrow's celebration of Japanese animation, and Dr Robin Allan's lecture on Disney (10 Jun). In addition, Simpsons addicts have a rare chance to see their heroes on the big-screen, when yet-to-be-shown episodes are previewed on 9 June. Meanwhile, in London Hercules: Gerald Scarfe meets Walt Disney highlights the cartoonist's defining contribution to the look of Disney's latest creation. Hundreds of drawings will fill the gallery, while film footage, and panel displays chart the process from conception to screen. Tickets for BAF! 01274 732277; MOMI, London SE1 (0171-928 3535)
