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.

All bar young Hiccup who (voiced by Jay Baruchel) sounds like a New York standup comic, and continually disappoints his warrior-king father Stoick (Gerard Butler). One day the feckless youth chances to shoot down a fabled black dragon, Night Wing, which turns out less fearsome than reputation suggested. Hiccup secretly befriends the creature, naming it "Toothless" and saddling it up for aerial jaunts, all shot in vertiginous 3-D. Will he persuade his bellicose father that humankind and dragons could, you know, just get along? Swooping visuals and knockabout comedy blend in a family entertainment that should be the Easter weekend treat.
