"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."
"Mr Cushing OBE, who died of cancer in 1994 aged 81, became a national treasure due to numerous appearances in Hammer horror films between the 1950s and 1970s. He also made an appearance in the first Star Wars film in 1977 as Grand Moff Tarkin, the imperial officer in charge of the Death Star. His role as that character was later "recreated" over 20 years after his death by "resurrecting" him using special effects for 2016's $1 billion-grossing Star Wars spin-off Rogue One."
The Independent emphasizes paywall-free journalism funded by donations, aiming to send reporters on the ground to cover topics from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech. The outlet cites investigations into financials, production of a documentary called 'The A Word', and the importance of parsing facts from messaging, with donations enabling reporting from both sides. Separately, a 1970s British B-movie company brought a legal claim over Peter Cushing's posthumous special-effects recreation in Rogue One, asserting contractual rights dating to 1993. LucasFilm Ltd and Lunak Heavy Industries defended the use of the recreated likeness and won the 250,000 court fight.
