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.Eugene Romanovsky had too much love for his faithful old 4x4 to just stick it on a vehicle trading website with a few smartphone photos of its scratches and a starting price.
Instead, he harnessed his skills as a visual effects artist and painstakingly created a two-minute trailer for the vehicle that is straight out of the Michael Bay playbook.
"My best friend for 10 years," the Latvian calls the 1996 Suzuki Vitara, which is seen chased by raptors through Jurassic Park, speeding through the desert in Mad Max: Fury Road, traversing and even going underwater.
Dubbed "The Legend. The Beast. The Hero." the car at one point shows of its impressive mileage by straight up flying to the moon.
I sincerely hope this isn't viral marketing on Suzuki's part and have contacted them to find out, along with Romanovsky to find out how many offers he's had off the back of the video, which has racked up over 2 million views.
