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.From the producers who brought you My Dog Skip, PS I Love You and Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants – a trio that should have earned them a worldwide ban – comes this based-on-fact heartwarmer about an inspirational dolphin named Winter.
Washed up injured on a Florida beach, the fish became the pet project of a marine hospital, a prosthetics whizz (Morgan Freeman) and the diffident boy Sawyer (Nathan Gamble) who found her. Interlinked with it is another tale of healing as Sawyer's soldier cousin returns maimed from a tour of Iraq. Two hours of redemptive hugs, triumphant whoops and tearful smiles later we learn that pinning a tail on a dolphin is, on the scale of human achievement, not far behind winning the Nobel Peace Prize and discovering a cure for cancer. Well done everyone!
