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.Darwin was everywhere last year, with the 150th anniversary of the publication of On the Origin of Species, but Jon Amiel's biopic offers little cause for celebration.
Darwin, distraught after the death of his daughter, dithers about whether or not to write his God-busting book. While Paul Bettany deals well with Darwin's loss of faith, Jennifer Connelly has an impossible task as his extremely chilly and devout wife Emma, a poorly written and entirely unsympathetic character. The science vs religion stuff is as subtle as being hit hard over the head with a dinosaur fossil. Good performances from Bettany and an orang-utan called Jenny (embarrassingly upstaging the rest of the cast) go some way to save Creation, but it feels a tame effort.
