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.Witty, high-jinks social satire with a serious moral purpose is provided by this farcical story-line: the last surviving member of the Xique Xique people of Brazil (aka Charlie Duckworth) is brought to England by a well-meaning zoologist. Charlie's choppy career as Innocent Abroad is not helped by his appearance and physical attributes (bright yellow eyes and orange skin, a single tuft of hair on his head and a penis like a corkscrew); more devastating, though, is the human intolerance he encounters. Thoughtful as well as funny.
