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.This animated reworking of the Ark story doesn't feature any religious references and there is no sign of Noah either. The main characters are a pair of "Nestrians," brightly coloured gonks with snout noses initially refused admission to the big boat.
The 10-year-old Finny and his dad Dave smuggle themselves on board by pretending to be "Grymps," dingo-like animals already on the list to be saved. Their plan works but then Finny and young Grump girl manage to miss the boat anyway when the floods come.
A German-made kids' movie, Two by Two is cheery, innocuous fare, sentimental but with some spirited chases and slapstick sequences. The pick of the creatures is an "Obesey," a blubbery, good natured creature which can't work out whether it is a slug or a whale.
