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.

If you've seen those Cravendale Milk ads where figurines hurtle around their kitchen, jumping in and out of a fridge, then you'll have a fair handle on this bonkers stop-motion animation.

Its heroes are a trio of plastic toys, Horse, Cowboy and Indian – the latter two visiting chaos on their rural community when they bring 50 million bricks crashing down on their home and kick-start an odd odyssey involving a journey to the centre of the Earth, underwater aliens and a giant mechanical penguin. It's a good job for nosebleed sufferers that it doesn't stretch beyond its 70 minutes, such is its ferocious pace – but it's still a charming triumph of the freewheeling imagination.
