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.Luca arrived on Disney Plus this week, with a star-studded voice cast including Sacha Baron Cohen and Jacob Tremblay.
The film follows two young sea monsters who live off the coast of the Italian Riviera. Those on the land have hunted those in the sea for generations, and it’s too dangerous for the youngsters to breach the surface... or so the grown-ups say.
In a four-star review, The Independent’s critic Clarisse Loughrey wrote: “The animation is a gorgeous, tender-hearted paean to childhood summers spent with sunburnt noses and callused fingers and to the friendships that have helped us discover who we are.”
Here’s who’s who in the voice cast…
Room star Jacob Tremblay, 14, plays the lead role of Luca Paguro, a 13-year-old sea monster who lives underwater.
Jack Dylan Grazer (We Are Who We Are), 17, plays Alberto Scorfano, a teenage sea monster and Luca’s new best friend.
Bridesmaids icon Maya Rudolph voices Daniela Paguro, Luca’s strict sea monster mother and Borat star Sacha Baron Cohen plays Uncle Ugo, a distant relative of Luca’s who lives in the deep sea.
