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.

It's possibly not the most promising idea – turning a corpse-strewn Shakespearean tragedy into a cartoon about two gnomes from adjacent back gardens who fall in love – but Gnomeo and Juliet turns out to be a lively, sweet, reasonably clever bit of sub-Pixar fun.

James McAvoy and Emily Blunt provide the voices of the terracotta teens; Elton John, who's one of the producers, slaps his songs all over the soundtrack.
