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.Digital cartoons sink to new depths in The Reef, a film which should have been screened with an offer of a special prize to any critic who could review it without bringing up Finding Nemo.
Its hero is a suspiciously familiar-looking fish who has to outwit the shark which is baring its teeth at his girlfriend - and that's it. There's no twisty plot, no global warming, just some third-rate voice artists, some flat, fuzzy animation, and a smattering of puns of the "Ricky Marlin" and "Harry Codfish Jr" variety.
Even the substandard subaquatic likes of A Shark's Tale and Help I'm A Fish held more water.
