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.

A dotty scientist (Jason Sudeikis) is convinced there are tiny people gallivanting around the nearby forest. His teenage daughter (Amanda Seyfried) is less convinced until she is shrunk to fairy size and in her reduced state encounters an earnest bunch of magical woodland dwellers, led by Beyoncé's queen and Colin Farrell's warrior, combating the evil, decay-loving Mandrake (Christoph Waltz). Epic is a perfectly serviceable, good-looking animation (above) enlivened by Aziz Ansari and Chris O'Dowd's droll slug and snail duo, Mub and Grub.
