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.

This 1942 Disney classic is startlingly simple: a young fawn is thrust into a colourful world of animal life, complete with all the highs and lows of existence: making friends, losing a loved one, and, of course, springtime mating.

Despite being a first-time viewer more accustomed to the comedy and plot-heavy production of Disney's recent efforts, I was overwhelmed by this humble fable. With stark realities – from the increasing threat of man to that scene we don't like to talk about – this beautifully realised animation delivers a palpable message to relish life because it won't go on forever: an excellent excuse if ever one was needed to embrace one's inner child and wallow in this timeless classic.
