"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,"
"One technically tricky scene that required actors playing the dwarves to be in a separate room, in order to be able to shrink them later using CGI, meant that Weaving, McKellen and McKenzie were left standing around for some time. We're sitting there, we start making up Lord of the Rings: The Musical' to pass the time, singing these songs about elves and Gandalf we were just having an absolute ball, he said."
The Independent relies on donations to fund on-the-ground reporting across issues such as reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech while keeping content accessible without paywalls. Donations enable the outlet to send journalists to developing stories, investigate financial and political links, and produce documentaries spotlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet emphasizes balanced reporting and reaching audiences across the political spectrum, and promotes funding quality journalism through voluntary support rather than paywalls. New Zealand musician and actor Bret McKenzie appeared as an elf in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit franchises and described playful on-set behaviour, including Ian McKellen humming made-up tunes without moving his mouth during a technically tricky scene.
